Our gas budget has tripled this year even though we drive less and have gone out of state only once. Our grocery bill has tripled this year. That may not be a national crisis or proof of recession but we are feeling the squeeze that your average living almost paycheck to paycheck american family feels.

My solution….stop going places, walk when you can, ride a bike if you can. Essentially suck it up as long as we continue to live like the energy sucking cancers that we are.

Perhaps we should just suck the earth dry and then we would all be forced to use alternative energy. Who cares about pristine environments if i cant live in constant 78%, drive to the gym, eat organic foods dirt cheap, etc.
