Re: A Return and A Debate
I think I found out why people around here complain so much about gas prices. You see, the area that I live in is a conglomerated mess of hills and one way streets leading up said hills. This was a fact that was lost on me until yesterday when I had to run a certain number of errands in a certain order, thus leading me on an adventure of going up hills and then up more hill and then going up hills some more.I think the terrain levels off ONCE for about a quarter of an inch, though. 
You remember those stories your grandparent would tell you about how they had to walk barefoot to school in 200 feet of snow, up hill both ways? Well, they must have lived here, because its nearly impossible to find a road that goes down a hill. Plus, we get roughly 200 feet of snow here during the winter
Imagine that on roads that go up hills 
Anyways, yea... gas goes bye-bye very quickly when you drive up hills. Astonishing, I know, but its true. Combine that with 2.70 gas prices and you've got yourself a whole heapin pile of angry rednecks itchin' for some redemption. Even toothless joe's gums were a-flappin when it comes to gas prices. 
What you guys said about the how gas prices constantly change while pop and other things dont very often makes sense. I have, however, seen milk change prices constantly before. But maybe that was only because of that whole 'Mad Cow' thing. Kinda like how egg prices went up a bit when whatever it was that was affecting chickens happened. What was that called again? Mad Chicken Desease maybe? Prolly was... All I can say is that those whom are in power better do something about these gas prices soon or there is going to beed a sudden epidemic of Mad Human Desease.
