It's Them, Not Me: On the Road Again-- Food prices Up!-- Gas Going Up!!

Things that REALLY Burn My Butt.


1. ON THE ROAD AGAIN-- Reuters reports that Americans are hitting the road again. NO KIDDING!! Gas prices are coming down and I've heard that some motels are lowering prices.

I know Liz and I seriously curtailed our road trips this last year because of Big Oil's greed. That is, until gas prices came down. We've been on two road trips this year and have another planned soon.


2. FOOD PRICES UP-- The Chicago Tribune reports food prices at the grocery store are going up. And all the while, food production costs are going down. Some of the Big oil Execs must have gone over to the food sector. Is it possible GRBs have infiltrated the food industry?

Anytime I go into our local Jewel or Dominick's grocery stores, I suffer from sticker shock.


3. GAS GOING UP-- Again!! And just in time for the summer driving season. With all the economic problems, the lower gas prices were one little ray of hope in the gray. Gas was up to $2 here in Fox Lake, before dropping a little bit. Shouldn't be too long before Big Oil gets those prices back up to where they'll be happy.

Didn't they make enough profit the last three years to cut us a little slack?
