Gas prices

“I’m tired of hearing about gas prices,” my wife said recently. “It’s the current excuse for everything.” I agree. Nobody likes to pay more for anything, but let’s admit that we are a bunch of spoiled brats on this subject. Practically EVERYONE pays more for gas than we do. During WW2, folks learned to do without. Coffee, sugar, chocolate, and gasoline were rationed. When is the last time you and I were told there simply wasn’t enough of something for us to get what we wanted? As I see it, we have two basic choices – shut up, or stay home. We all have TVs and books. There are public busses to take you to work, and to the store. If you choose to drive, don’t complain about it.
