Today while looking out my window at the gas station across the street I noted that the gas price is over $10gallon. As I slowly pick my jaw up off the floor, I reminisce on when gas was just $0.97 a gallon. What an increase!
I cannot for a moment imagine how this will actually effect my day to day life. I feel fortunate that there is the possibility for me to telecommute with my work and that I do not "have" to go into the office everyday. I am terrified though for how this effects the rest of my life. Will I be forced to start growing my own food to combat the prices that are skyrocketing to ship the products to me? I am currently wishing I had listened to my family and stockpiled while the prices were low.
Who is to blame for this? The govrment? The wars? Greedy people that cannot share with the needy? Is it time to go back to horses and buggies? To bartering and no flying? They say in the fashion world that styles come back.... maybe it is time for us to go back to the days when we didnt rely so much on gas to get us places and send in our food.
