Don't worry, I'm not in the habit of taking photos of gas prices. It isn't "one of my things". But, this weekend when I saw gas prices had gotten so low - I had to take a picture. I'd remembered accidentally getting a shot of a gas station from this summer.
I couldn't help but reflect on how unimaginable the last 6 months have been. Not that there aren't daily opportunities for this kind of reflection. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined over 4 buck gas. And once that happened - I never thought I would see almost a buck fifty. I just sort of wanted to immortalize it on the blog.
I don't know how this whole economy thing is going to shake out.....but, this period in time is certainly life altering. I know I will never look at things the same way.
If someone would have predicted all the forces would come together to change the world the way it did, I would have dismissed them as a fatalistic moonbat. A lot of days it doesn't seem real. Yet it is.
I was tempted to take a picture of gas prices myself yesterday: $1.519 just 20 miles south of my home town. Hard to believe that just a few weeks ago I was shelling out $4.50+ here in Califreakia.
ReplyDeleteBOO!!! We're still at $2.10 here in Germany. But it's better than the $4.11 we were paying back in October. And way, way better than the .51 EURO a LITRE we would pay off base, back when 1 Euro=$1.68.
ReplyDeleteI just saw prices at $1.26 and almost crashed the car. I worked at a gas station during 9/11 and everyone FREAKED when gas went to $1.89. If the price goes under a dollar, I am going to be mind blown!
