Sleepless in Pasadena

I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t go back to sleep, so now I’m updating my blog to kill time.
I’m thinking about fuel costs, and the fact that I don’t believe gasoline prices will go down anytime soon. Last Sunday’s Hash run ended at Stuck on the Bone’s house, which is about 45 miles from where I live. My combined mileage for driving there and back, plus a couple of “car backs” was over 100 miles. My little truck gets about 22 miles per gallon, so that amounts to about 4 ½ gallons of gasoline. At $3.75 per gallon, that comes to $17 worth of fuel for the trip. Guess I need to start carpooling.
