Shocking...just shocking! 

Shocking...just shocking!

Did you see the picture in this Week's Newsweek, the one with "Blackout of 2003" on the cover? You know the picture I'm talking about, the one that suggests that I'm living in an alternate universe. In Detroit. Cars lined up at a gas station. Cars lined up way out into the street. Drivers looking resigned to their fate. And the gas, the regular unleaded, is $1.59 9/10 a gallon. Sweet mother of god!!!! At the Arco down the street from me, one of the cheapest stations in town, it was $2.05 9/10 last night. Hey, I'll take a couple of nights reading by candlelight (oh, the horror...those poor poor people) for gas 46 cents a gallon cheaper.

Sorry...I feel much better now.
