Ankle grabbing.

Good god. Now, with apologies to my friends in Europe, because I know that you guys also pay a metric assload for gas, but seriously. Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

Today, I filled up my 16-gallon gas tank, and paid over $40 to do it. Brett paid almost $50 the other day while we were out for dinner. I was appalled the first time I paid over $30, then over $35, now I'm just kind of outraged--especially since the price of oil has fallen over the past couple of days, but the price of gas has not.

My commute is already only three miles, and I can go weeks without filling up, so I guess maybe I shouldn't bitch much, but still. It's seriously bend over and grab your ankles time.

One of the places that we're looking to move to within the next few months is within walking distance of my office. That will be sweet, then I'll barely use my car at all, heh. I've already had it for more than two years and haven't even broken 19,000 miles.

It's just lots and lots of suck.
