$1.26

September 6, 2008

My husband and I received a letter from our church, celebrating our upcoming ten year wedding anniversary. Fortunately, the good times have outweighed the bad. In fact, our life is much better than it was 10 years ago. We bought a newer old house and we have two healthy boys. We both have good jobs and other than being a little bit tired we are living “happily ever after.”

Attached to the letter from our church was a “News of the Past” page prepared especially for us. In 1998 the Broncos beat the Packers in Super Bowl XXXII and the New York Yankees swept the San Diego Padres in the World Series.

In 1998 the price of a gallon of gas was $1.26!

Today I drove past a gas station whose advertised price of a gallon of gas was $3.79. If we elect a drill-nothing Democrat Congress and a drill-nothing Democrat President I guess it’s safe to assume that by the time our 20 year anniversary rolls around we’ll be paying about $11.34 per gallon.

Let’s not let that happen.

    Hi Josh, I would but I’m having trouble adding anything new right now. One of these days it will be fixed, but for now I can’t change/add anything. Sorry.

    $11/gallon for gas isn’t that bad. I mean, we’re not really paying enough as it is anyway. Look at Europe. They are the standard for the rest of the world to follow and they’re paying that much.

    I think Barack Obama would like us to pay that much and if it takes ten years it’s good because we’re too stupid to notice.
