ABSOLUTELY !!!! At least Kerry doesn't own any oil companies or have any royalties coming from the Middle east to him.

Bush is all for having the price go out of sight, the higher it goes ... the more he makes, plain and simple.

And that clown he calls his VP is making a fortune on feeding the military in the Middle east.

So where does Bush and Chaney not feel the pinch of the high prices? They don't feel it, we pay for it and they collect on it ... I'm sure they feel real bad for us, they're crying all the way to the bank.

If any president needed to be shot it should be him, he can't even finish what daddy started and failed at in the Middle east, he's a loser just like his father was.

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.

I am lucky enough to fish 99% of the time less than 5 miles from my house, so, for the most part fuel prices will not affect my fishing. I will still make a couple short adventures (200 miles round trip) this fall. It definitely helps that I have a diesel truck as I average ~20 mpg on the highway. While that is not great mileage these days as far as smaller car is concerned, it is good for a big truck that can carry all of my crap

I'll still make a couple weekend trips this fall, its tougher finding the free time with work. Its the kind of thing that if I didnt spend the extra 30.00 on gas now then I'd regret it all winter when its not possible to do.

Found $2.99 yesterday, Its sad when you start to consider $2.99 a "Good Deal"

Domination takes full concentration..

In 2003 and 2004 I put over 200 hours on my engine each season, this year, only 40 hours. This sucks...
