And now for something completely different:

It's sure neat that gas prices have been low lately. It's really cool on those double coupon days at the local gas station.

And as long as gas prices stay low like they have been, I'm almost tempted to throw caution (and the old budget) to the wind, fill up the mobile and drive the 494 /694 loop a couple of times just to waste some. Just so I can fill-er-up again.

But wait. I'm not that goofy: I'll at least drive the speed limit — in the right lane!

Uff da!
