Why the long face?

Greetings gassy ones.

I noticed coming home from work that fuel prices are increasing. Last Friday I had to tank up so I went by a fuel station that is usually cheap. But to my horror it was one penny more than a gas station I passed closer to my house. I put in my little bit of money and went to work. Then that afternoon I was driving home from work and the gas price was nine cents cheaper. Today it started with its normal price and by the end of the day was close to what it was Friday. Why is it playing yo-yo with the price and my emotions?

Cars are a lot of trouble. I should get a bicycle. They seem expensive, but think of the money saved after a month or two. The only thing is they are not great for carrying things. Plus you have to pedal. As I learned watching the Amazing Race, I could get a horse. Hay, neeiighbor! I wonder if they eat grass or just poop in it. That way I could get rid of my lawn mower.

Just horsing around with some ideas. Maybe it will keep my emotions stable.
