    I have a feeling the truck(with a v8) that I just sold (and got raped on) would be worth a little bit more now too. O well. I got a new taco outta the deal.

    Cheap gas is nice and all, but I think it's signifies that the bigger problem going on in our economy right now is bad, really bad, so it's hard for me to get excited about... though I was giddy for a few moments when I filled up last night for less than $40 until the reality that I may be out of a job soon set in.
