Farging gas prices

[Rome]

I refuse to travel with children.  little shteinheads always want something, always grabbing at things, crying about this or that.  Ugh.

How's that different than traveling with your wife or girlfriend?

^^^ Talk about truth. ^^^

Just drove 1000 miles last week -- 16 hours from St. Louis to upstate NY.  Me, Mrs. Demon, and three little Demonites (11, 8, and almost 2).  We were terrified of the trip, because a) the little one screams on the way to the grocery store (she's really not used to car seats yet), and we don't use a DVD player until the last 2 hours of the trip.

The trip was great.  Kids played and laughed, the baby only had two little meltdowns of less than 5 minutes each, and we knocked out the trip in one shot.  About $125 in gas, packed lunches, and maybe $30 in miscellaneous stuff here and there.  Now, we just have to hope the trip goes just as smoothly on the return in a couple weeks.  Doubtful, but there's hope.

Bottom line -- don't fret the trip, Mo.  It beats the cost of air travel, and it's good for the family.

where in upstate ny?

Gloversville, which is just outside of Johnstown, which is just outside of Schenectday, which is just outside of Albany.

Towns are small up there.

went up to upstate NY early this month, watertown/alexandria bay area. we put 1000 on my lady friends little kia. we filled the tank up 3 times, each costing around 24 bucks. that little car gets great gas mileage.

meanwhile, oil company execs continue to redefine the term "obscene wealth."

The average pay package for the top executives in this energy-centric city was $6.9 million in 2005 versus $5.4 million in 2004, including salary, bonus and long-term incentives like stock options, according to data compiled for the Chronicle by Longnecker & Associates.

The increase was fueled in large part by a 68 percent jump in the value of stock option grants and a 23 percent increase in bonuses.

No one earns that kind of money.  That's theft with a pen.

Some, if not all, of those bonuses are absolutely ridiculous.

Experts say gas, corporate profits, could hit record highs because of the shutdown.
