Overheard at the Deli Counter

Clerk: “Oh, your daughter is so cute”

Father: “Thanks.”

Clerk: “What’s her name?”

Father (proudly): “Aberdeen”

Clerk: “Oh, I used to live in Washington”

Father (blank stare, followed by nearly audible sniff): “Well it’s actually Scotland”

Me…walking away LMAO.

Four Reasons that $4 Gas is Probably Good for You

So, it’s a buck a reason:

1. That dinosaur juice won’t last forever.  Sure, there’s plenty of controversy about how long, and whether we’ve crested the supply curve.  But, sooner or later, it’s going to be all gone.  Have you seen any dinosaurs lately?
2. Your environment.  Burning oil’s not so hot for the old greenhouse gases, in case you just beamed in.  It’s time to invest in alternatives.
3. Your health.  The bike racks at my neighborhood grocery (not central city, but suburban, Tahoe-driving kinda ‘hood) were full this morning, I counted 15+ bikes.  And I saw lots of walkers too. Hats off!
4. Energy independence.  Maybe we can avoid invading any more sovereign countries on BS rationale.
