It's a Gas

I found a gas station down in the OC for $3.11. How sad is it that I got excited to find $3.11 gas? This is just ridiculous. And nobody seems to be saying anything about it anymore. People used to get all up in arms when gas went up more than five or six cents a gallon.

It’s so frustrating ‘cause it feels like there’s nothing that can be done about it. Our reliance on foreign oil, as my brother would so eloquently say, “has us by the balls.” Buying a hybrid car is a step, but you’re still filling up at the tank. And the public transportation system is atrocious in Los Angeles.

And it’s not like people are just going to stop driving. We have to get places. I’m getting ready to sell my condo and move closer to Hollywood. That means I’m back in commute mode. People are still buying SUVs. I just wonder at what point we in the U.S. will finally say enough.

Sorry for the downer post. Read my archives for a couple chuckles.
