Eh, the drive takes at least half an hour. So, what takes a bicycle? And the law here requires that I wear a helmet. Sekali arrive office, my hair flat flat, how?
1. Cut hair botak, then dun have to worry about it.
2. Cycle to hairdressing salon next to office, fix hair, then walk to office.
Simple, right?
(By the way, gas this morning is averaging about US$2.90/gal. around here. Blardy hell...) -
I thought Ah Bush is gonna bring it down to US$65 a barrel?

Would he have an incentive to do that? After all, he's in bed with most of the oil company executives. Isn't Bush an oilman himself?Originally posted by littlestream:I thought Ah Bush is gonna bring it down to US$65 a barrel? -
After the previous round of gouging, gas prices actually dropped below $2/gal. for a short period of time. Then they started creeping up to their present levels.Originally posted by jetta:That's not bad. What did you usually pay before this gouging?

Anyways, me no expert. I hear from teebee.

Wah piang! It's US$4.15 for unleaded at one SD gas station! This gas station is located on Coronado island. The shop owner says his prices are high because gas trucks cannot drive over the bridge to get to the island. They have to take a circuious route to get there.Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:Gas prices are starting to go up again. It was $2.80/gal. this morning, up from about $2.65/gal. yesterday. Pharque!
