Maggie at the Guild is running this Journaling Challenge and it just made me crack up, and also made me realize just how old I am...so her challenge was to blog or journal something that you Remember...Well, with the price of gas, I have to go with that one...
I can remember going to the gas station with my Daddy and it costing 29 cents a gallon, and my Daddy thinking, that it was just soooo expensive, he would rant and rave over the fact that he had to pay 29 cents a gallon. Well, then I can remember about the time that I started to drive gas was just raising in price...it was 39 cents a gallon and then all the sudden it was ... oh my ... 59 cents a gallon. Well on a teenager, babysitting don't have a real job wages...that was just like oh my how will I get to the mall or my friends house, I don't have enough gas and no money to buy any...bummer, guess I have to walk :( . So now I reflect back on this and say, gosh I want 59 cent gasoline, cause it is costing me $100.00 to fill my truck up at $3.89 a gallon...yep, that was then in the 1970's and this is now in 2008. Oh to be young again!!!

Remember when $5 worth of gas would last you more than just down to the corner and back? LOL - those were the days!
Adding you to my blog roll! :)
This is so funny! People will ALWAYS complain about the price of gas no matter how cheap or expensive it is. lol Its just the way it is.
Wow - I remember when it was 24 cents gallon... ugh.... Now in San Diego, the cheapest (IMEAN CHEAPEST) gas we found yesterday was %4.39 a gallon!!!!

Great journaling! I started driving in the 90's and gas was like 89 cents a gallon!
