Tourism here has taken a hit....the area I live is a big tourist area...not so busy this summer. A lot of my customers have cancelled theirplans this summer due to gas prices....

Gas prices pretty much killed that dream.

I had $3600 saved up to build a new PC, and ended up buying a new 2007 Honda Rebel... I'm getting 63MPG, so I'd say it was well worth it... Now I'm saving up AGAIN to build that new rig... _________________ Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out!

No, they have not changed my life at all. Gas prices here have been sky high ever since I got my drivers licence in the early 80s. _________________ Respect all, fear none!

I FEEL I'M WORKING FOR THE OIL COMPANIES AND NOT MYSELF! JUST CAN'T IMAGINE BEING IN A DIESEL BOUND FLEET, SO I CAN'T WHINE TOO MUCH. HOPE THE GOOD WEATHER HOLDS OUT HERE SO I CAN STAY ON MY SCOOTER MORE FOR PERSONAL TRAVEL. DON'T USE THE LIMO'S TO GET PERSONAL STUFF ANYMORE, LIKE AFTER A JOB STOP AT THE STORE TO GET THIS OR THAT. THE THIS OR THAT'S STARTED ADDING UP TO MILES AND GALLONS. THE WORLD IS CHANGING THE WAY THEY DO BUSINESS. _________________ Author {uZa}fcbcynic Post Ho Joined: 17 Sep 2006 Posts: 1653 Back to top Message Posted: Wed Aug 20, 2008 5:47 pm    Post subject: I thought gas prices were going to go down when Bush invaded Iraq for oil?!!

If they can't tell the truth to us, they shouldn't be ruling our nation.
