Thanks Hurricane Katrina

As if my week wasn't bad enough, I have to deal with skyrocketing gasoline prices. Last Sunday it was $2.43. Today after daily raises since, it is $3.09 tonight. If I was not planning to buy a cat this month, I would be in line for a hybrid car. It is getting so high that it is cheaper to do my laundry here than drive across town and do laundry free at my sister's house. Thanks Hurricane Katrina, now go away.

If it matters, some of the price problem is the fact our state governments keep raising gas, tobacco, cell phone, etc. taxes simply because they are not capable of balancing a budget. But then many Americans can't balance their own checkbooks, so this this not shock us. I have difficulties adding and subtracting with a calculator. Post later. Bye!
