$50 worth of gas used to last me over a month...

Some of you may have wondered why I haven’t talked much about riding the bus over the last year and a half. That’s because after getting my current job, the bus ceased to be an option for my transpotation — that is, unless I wanted to go through about seven different transfers and turn my commute into a three-hour, butt-numbing hassle every morning and every night of the week. Still, that might beat today’s gasoline prices.

THANK YOU HAVE A NICE DAYSpeaking of today, after fueling-up before beginning my thirty-minute drive to work, I was stopped at a stop light, awaiting my turn. Just then, one of Kansas City’s finest (not the police, mind you, but a Kansas City Metro bus) pulled up along side me. Oh, how I wished I was on it.

I am dreading the fact that our other car needs gas as well. Spending fifty-dollars isn’t a light subject in our household when it comes to frivolous items and it shouldn’t be any easier for gasoline. But, there’s not much more that we can do. And the government should know this. And help.

THANK YOU HAVE A NICE DAY

I love the site layout… Oh yeah, where’s that alternative fuel when it’s needed?

Thanks, Jeff… Yeah, I wish I could afford a couple of Hybrids too. :-(

Another reason why I’m glad I can bike commute everyday. Is commuting by bike feasible for you in KC with your new job? I remember feeling as if I was risking my life every time I rode in KC.

Peder ~ I could probably do a mixture of biking/bussing to get to and from work (bus down to St. Joseph Medical Center and then bike from there to work). Truthfully, I hadn’t really thought of it until now. But, it wouldn’t really work in the winter. Still, to save a little money this summer… I may have to think more about it!

Tim, I feel sorry for you and your gascapades. I dread every time I have to buy gas for my car as well.

But that’s why I’ve started driving my scooter again – now that the sun is out. So I suppose, I’ll have to enjoy it and be grateful.

I just had to add a photo on my flickR as well. I’m sorry if it irks you.

Hehe, the equivalent of $ 50 buys me just 6.6 gallons of gas in the Netherlands. Luckily my small 206 is pretty fuel-efficient. :-)

Oh, man, Bob… I am jealous of your car — too cool. The gas-price-exchange-rate, though? Not so jealous of. :-(
