Freakin diesel just rolled to $3.78 a gallon here and my car is in the shop so I'm driving the truck and hoping that quarter tank I have in it will last until the car is ready. CrapOLA we are being played for suckas by the oil companies. Fat bastids are giving themselves raise after raise and recording record profits while the rest of us choke every time we fuel up. I'm due for a feed run real soon and if I take the truck it'll cost about $40 in diesel because I get my feed at a place an hour from here. Even with the drive, it's cheaper to go there than buy local, provided I drive the car which only uses about $10 worth of gas round trip. Hoping it's ready tomorrow, because I don't have enough feed to last beyond the weekend.
Everything is going up. I never thought I'd find myself obsessing over the cost of fuel, getting pissed off every time I see that price roll up another .10 cents a gallon just in time for payday, but here I am doing just that. I priced bicycles over at ChinaMart today. They had a trike with a little basket on it and I thought, man I'm gonna look like an idiot on that. Heh, I could put a bumper sticker on it that says "I Look Even Dumber Paying $4 Per Gallon For Diesel". But then I look at it's price tag, and it's $238. Crap! Had a neat mountain bike though, $84. I think when they get the underpass that I have to take to get to work finished up, I'll get it. Until then, no. I'm not interested in getting splattered all over the road by a semi barreling through the construction zone.
Actually my horse is starting to look like a viable transportation alternative.
Two more babies born this morning, both black with white hind legs and white stars. Not sure on the gender yet. I sure do have a lot of black sheep this time.
