Speaking of being sad

How about the fact that gas now costs more than lunch? Or dang close to it. The Michigan state average for a gallon of the black gold is now going for an average (meaning there are some lower and some higher) of $4.10 a gallon.

I never thought I'd be saying something like this at such a young age, but here it goes: when I started driving, gas was about $.88 a gallon. That means, in the ten years I've been driving there has been an increase in the price of gas of over four and a half times.

Long gone are the days of filling up on spare change.
