I’m not one of those guys who complains about stuff.  In fact, I pretty much don’t get worked up over anything.  My favorite phrase in response to bad news is “whatever”. 

And because of that attitude, I’ve gotten kind of sick of people complaining about gas prices.  Yes…its expensive.  But what are you going to do?  Its not like you aren’t going to buy it and you’re going to take a bike everywhere.  Just deal with it.

But that was before today.

I filled up the lovely Honda Civic at 3.50 a gallon a today.

$3.50 a gallon??  WHAT???  WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN???

Holy macaroni that’s a lot.  But - what can you do?  Like I said – other people aren’t about to ride bikes to work, and I’m certainly not going to either.

And why does the pump now ask me for my zip code when I enter in my credit card??  Where do you think I live, Mr Pump??  Do you think I went 100 miles out of my way to get gas?? No – I live around the stupid corner – the same zip code you are.  Just let me pay for my gas!

Anyways – at the end of the day – gas prices are still “whatever” in my world.  Really…what can you do?  But it can still take your breath away – even if its just for a second.
