The upcoming bailouts are a total waste of good hard earned money, and the fact that it is our (hard working americans) money is a burr under my saddle. I say let the companies that are failing go under and let some one who can run a business and make money take them over, I am not in the mood to have my hard earned money go to bailing out failing companies and that is the bottom line as far as I am concerned, I will never support a President who is so willing to waste our money.
Last night while I was watching the news on channel 5 they had a report of gas priced under $2.00 a gallon. In Winchester Tn there is a station selling regular unleaded gasoline for $1.98 a gallon. I almost spit out my beer when I saw that price. It is a two hour trip to Winchester but it would almost be worth a road trip to fill up for that price. Well almost. I think I will wait for the price to fall to that level here, we are at $2.50 or so at most of the stations in Nashville, not a bad price after paying over $4.00 a gallon just a few weeks ago. I hope we get down under $2.00 a gallon here very soon.
After searching for two years we have found the new boat that we want to buy, it is a twenty foot cabin cruiser with sleeping berths for four, so we can go on weekend trips on the boat and not have to worry about a place for everyone to sleep. We have it out of the water right now getting it checked over and if everything is as good as it seems we will pay for it and get her back in the water next weekend. I can not wait we have wanted a big enough boat to go out for two or three days at a time and we have got it now and I am very happy about this purchase, and can not wait to get it in the water.
The cost of everything has gone through the roof the last few months. The price of gasoline has risen to an unheard of level of $4.00 a gallon. Even the food we have to eat to live has went up 200% in some cases. Just to drive to work everyday costs me $35 round trip, and that is if I do nothing extra, like run a route or check on any part of my 2 districts. It cost me $102 to fill up my truck last week, I about had a heart attack and died right there when the pump rolled over $100. We really need some relief from the high prices that are destroying middle America.
