One of my biggest uplanned expense each week is the cost of gas. I never know how much driving I’ll be doing and I don’t know how much the cost of gas will be from week to week. Last month I had hopes that gas would be dropping back to about $2.00 a gallon – or perhaps a little under that, if we got very lucky.
But last week, gas jumped back up to $2.59 a gallon and I have no idea why it went up so quickly. I’ve heard nothing on the new about bad weather or oil shortages anywhere. So what the heck is going on?

Got your Harley yet? I figure we’ll see a big increase in the number of guys on motorcycles this summer. With the price of gasoline rocketing upward, this gives every middle aged crisis guy the perfect excuse to buy a motorcycle using the excuse of great gas mileage.
A lot of guys ride the Japanese made bikes that tear through my neighborhood on Saturdays and Sundays on their way to the Lake. Those guys are the dummies who ride with sandals instead of good leather boots, and ride shirtless instead of a leather jacket or vest. They ride too fast for the road conditions, dart in between cars, burn rubber at stop signs, and eventually get hurt because they are reckless and stupid.
Harley riders are different. Guys on the Jap bikes are the ones who ruin it for the rest of us. These idiots are the reason we have helmet laws. The serious bikers know to protect themselves and how to handle a motorcycle. But the idiots don’t even have enough sense to wear a helmet unless we force them to do it.
