$5/gal is making me gleeful	29 Sep 2005 06:23 GMT	89
I love it! Fairly insulated from the potential effects of skyrocketing gas prices. Drive a scooter, grow lots of my own food, a teacher (no chance of losing my job! :) ). Sitting pretty, watching the chaos unfold. It's actually sexually gratifying to see the possibilty of gas
