Hey, yea, awesome!
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008I suck.
Felt like dung-o, got my can dropped early and hard. But I had a pleasant ride in with my main man Pete.
There is always next week…or the week after…or someday in the future.

Older than I used to be
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008I was riding with Super Rookie last week and he asked me if I needed to use the bathroom. I told him that I am 40 years old…I ALWAYS need to use the bathroom. He asked if that was something he should look forward to. All that and much much more pal.

Smithers lite?
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008Some readers have privately complained to me that I am not yet back on my game since the big break. So what do you think?
Is it back to its former glory or just Smithers-lite?
gas prices
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008I was listening to talk radio yesterday and, as usual, callers were complaining about gas prices. One guy stated that he wanted his son to be able to drive what ever car he wanted and as much as he wanted when he got old enough to drive but he did not think that gas prices would allow it.
Gee, you think?
People in this country really feel like it is their god given right to drive big cars and buy cheap gas. Maybe it’s good that a generation of kids grow up with expensive gas in order to change some habits.
A local radio talk show host stated the other day that politicians can do nothing about the price of gas. This is not true.
Gas prices are determined by supply and demand and the USA has plenty of demand for gas. Politicians have the ability to reduce demand by simply banning car use. There are plenty of cities in countries all around the world that restrict the use of cars on particular days of the week. Draconian? Sure. Effective at reducing demand for gasoline and reducing air pollution? You bet.
Wake up. Gas prices are not coming down unless demand comes down. Maybe then prices won’t even come down but if you are using half as much then you will be paying half as much.
As a side note, I was passed on the highway this morning by a GM Suburban Boundary Waters Edition. I had to laugh out loud.
