Gas is how much now?
Being in real estate, we spend a lot of money on gas.
I drive a 4 cylinder car that gets pretty good gas mileage, even so I long for
those days when I could fill up my car for less than $30! Now I try to
maintain my composure and try not to look shocked when I see the final "new high
total"...I once thought that $50 was a lot to fill up the car...but that was
a few weeks ago. As the prices continue to climb, I noticed as I am sure
many of you have, less cars on the road. We have found that the Costco in
Vancouver WA have the best prices on gas...but the longest lines.
While walking, I pass through 4 subdivisions, each built within about 7 years of one another. There are quite a few houses. When I am walking by myself, hooked up to my Nano with my favorite music playing in my ears...I rarely run into anyone in their yards. I am reminded of the neighborhood when I was young, we knew all the neighbors and we had block parties. On the 4th of July we would get together and have tables out in the roads and have a huge gathering, with food, Kool-aid, hot dogs, Jell-O and share fireworks. Even the youngest kids would be running around with sparklers! Although I don't like the gas prices as much as the next guy, there is something we can do about it! I say we invite the neighbors, have a block party and get to know each other! I found some links which have terrific ideas on neighborhood get-togethers, plus just think about all the MONEY you will all SAVE by not driving! |
