Welcome back!

Whoopee, the gas prices are going down. No, it is not a true celebration. The rise in gas prices was not necessary. The shortage of the supply of gas was not necessary. I appreciate that I am paying less. However, it would really be nice for someone to admit that the reason why the price of gas went to high was greed.

The individual stations are not to blame. They only pass on what they have to pay themselves. They too, were caught between a rock and a hard place. We should not blame the individual station owners for something that was created by those higher up in the chain of command. Why are the company executives getting any type of bonus, or extra pay? Why would anyone think they deserve it after the botched handling of their companies’ businesses? Ordinary people are the ones who are being hurt. The executives, they are not facing the same problems as Mr Joe American on the street. Why doesn’t anyone investigate just what exactly was manipulated to cause the problems? I cannot be the only one curious about that. Why hasn’t the Media circus started to explore true cause and effect? I am still curious.

Yup, it is the blabby broad. My spell check tried to tall me that the word - blabby - was supposed to be flabby. Either one works. *snicker*

Today I’ve been to the grocery store, got a little food for a bit of money, got soggy from the rain. It finally rained ! We’ve been in a dry spell that has left the grass sounding like potato chips when you walk on it. Our car got washed, you know the rain did it. If we took it to a car wash, the neighbors would be stunned, the car would be too.

The price of gas is going down a little. It is under 3.60 a gallon here in this part of Texas right now. I still think that the gas companies are gouging the public and should be up on charges, though. I have no idea why the executives would be getting such high wages for doing a lousy job. Although, now that I think on it, the gas companies are reporting a great deal of profit right now. The rest of us sure aren’t.

Got some tomatoes for 1.29 lb. They won’t last long in this house. They are eaten almost as soon as they are gotten. I’ve been having muscle cramps, so got some canned milk for the calcium.

At the very least we got out of the house, breathed some outside air, got wet, and saw some traffic. Another day in the life of….:)

There has been a lot of debate and talk about bio-fuel and bio-diesel. One of the previous articles that I wrote had a link to a site that explains the hazards of the making of bio-diesel. Check out the Great Fuel Debate.

I just read another article on a science blog that talks about making the bio-fuels easier and without as much hazardous waste. In the post, itself, an explanation is given as to how this can be accomplished. You would think the media would pick up on this because of the brouhaha going on in the media itself.

I wish the media would figure out that not everyone wants to hear about which ‘celebrity’ is going through rehab, and instead give us news that is more important. I realize that rehab is important for those who need it. The rest of us also need to know about alternatives for daily life.

The politicians are at it again. What this time? Try gas prices at the pump.

Another site on Multiplyc.com called C.J.’s site talks about this.

What I don’t understand is that the politicians in office right now had promised to work with the rest of the government to help the country. How is making the ordinary American citizen pay more at the pump helping us? What ever happened to the ‘lofty’ goals spoken of when they were first elected? I guess the office became more important than the people who helped to put the politicians there. It would be nice if the politicians would actually think about the rest of America for a change.

Why isn’t the media screaming about this to every one? How is it that the public (you know the ones paying bills) isn’t informed of the happenings? We hear about movie people having kids and divorces - that ain’t news. Congress hiking the gas tax is news

Sometimes I wonder what is going on. People are being made homeless. They have homes, but those are being taken away from them. How do the banks expect to sell them with money tight? Wouldn’t it have been better to re-work many of the mortgages of those in trouble?

Housing is not in good standing, people have to live some where. Don’t they? Under a bridge, in an abandoned building is not a good choice. What are these lenders doing? It appears that they are cutting their own throats. The very people that they had once chased to get their signature, they are now evicting. Variable mortgages, balloon payments, out sourcing jobs, high fuel prices, arrogant businesses…they all seem to be paying the price. After all what use is it to make things cheaper to manufacture, if people have no money to buy them anyhow? Foreclosing on homes….those homes will sit vacant because no one can afford to buy them. High fuel costs…People stop driving their cars so fuel is not bought.

Right about now there are fat cat businessmen out there with out any noses on their faces. When you damage the people, in the long run, you damage your self. The children are the ones who have had no choice in any of this, but they are paying for it still. I don’t mean to sound gloom and doom. I just feel concern for the generation growing up homeless.

I read an article on Window Shopper. It’s one of the links that I like to check out a lot. You can see its link next to my articles.

In one of the latest articles, new charges being added to the credit cards was discussed. I mean that the credit cards already charge a big amount of interest, they charge yearly charges just for having them, they charge late charges if you’re even a couple hours late paying. What are they - cafeterias in disguise.

I’ve worked at a cafeteria. Every individual thing, even butter, has a charge. It is very easy to spend a lot of money just to get a balanced meal. What gives with the credit cards wanting to do the same thing? Aren’t they getting enough money as it is? I’m afraid that I think it all stinks. They are sapping the public with each individual charge, and it is getting worse as the days go on.
