Ok someone out there needs to write a song about those "gas pump blues"! On Wednesday we stopped for gas at one of our local businesses at $3.39 per gallon. We were so excited! (This time last year we would have had a heart attack at that much!) We were on our way out to the church to practice a little and said "We ought to come back and fill up the bus." But guess what we forgot to do.
This morning at 7:30, gas was up to 3.99, people were lined up at the pumps like there was no tomorrow. By noon, most stations in town were completely out, here in Barbourville. One station said that they had already had two trucks there today and were almost out again. By 4 pm gas was anywhere from 3.99/gal to 4.59.
We stopped to fill up the bus before our singing this evening, (at 4.10/gal0, and the pumps were so slow it took 15 minutes to get $60.00 worth. We needed to get on the road so that's all we got. Thank goodness we weren't on empty before we started.
The CRAZY thing about this whole situation is look around you..... the roads are full. No one seems to care how much this liquid gold cost. We are addicted to travel apparently.
The SAD thing about this whole situation is WHY? Why is gas going up, when oil went down?
Well we could argue that statement all day.
Anyway, back to my first statement. If good ole Windy Bagwell were still around, I'm sure he'd have a very funny story to tell about fueling up the bus. Cause it's highway robbery....and that's why I'm telling the truth with my hands up!!!
I'm too Blessed to be depressed, and too annointed to be disapointed
