A resentful swipe at Big Oil.

[Tony T.]

Sometimes words have two meanings, besides I don't even like cheerios. :-laf



I believe the fact of fuel prices going up some would not bother people as much if the fact "everything" else didn't follow it path,but thats not going to happen because it's the life blood that runs the country at this point. Of course your wages never seem to follow the same path or at least mine have not.



I'm not a believer in staying in debt or maxing out my credit as some people tend to do, it would drive me nuts.

We get lots of california people come up here and fork out cash for houses, that raises our prices significantly. They can sell a shack for half a million then come up here and live very nicely for half that (used to be, it's gone way up now). It's just frustrating, but the market handles itself. The next couple years will be important, the housing market is really volatile right now. I don't really mind paying for fuel, to an extent. It's been too cheap for too long I think, people just got spoiled. My income has followed the fuel curve, and then some. But I was in highschool 10-15 years ago so I guess it's kinda of to be expected. I don't see my income rising that much in the next 15 years as it did in the last.
