Gas prices and a one track mind
« on: June 18, 2009, 02:08:02 PM »
I remember when it got to 2.23, 2.43, 2.57, 2.64, 2.70, 2.80, 3.00, 3.03, 3.08, 3.25, 3.57, 3.75, 4.04, and 4.29. I don't recall the other prices it got to last year. Wonder why I remember these prices.

You remember them because they are coming to a town near you again this summer.

But the libs said that happened because Bush was an oil man and that they would not let it happen again.  Surely they would not lie to us. :o

I use calibers and bore diameters to remember things also. The T/C Custom shop telephone was 243-4570.  I am not looking forward to 5.00, 5.77 and other African cartridges.  I was satisfied with my 1.77 pellet rifle. :)

I am sure that higher fuel prices will be used as a lever to "sell" the Government Motors 39 mpg roller skate/cars.  Not a good thing when it politically behooves the Chairman/Commissar/Politburo to raise prices to create their desired "change".  I retired last year and in January '08 bought a new Silverado 2500 HD to pull my travel trailer. Bad timing, huh? :(

I believe I heard something mentioned on the TV this morning about a proposal to give people $600 to put towards a small car.  Wouldn't the fuel savings be incentive enough???  Why should I share in the expense of purchasing someone else's small car?

Sad thing is that even if the fuel prices hit 30.06 and $27 of it was used to retire the debt that the current regime is creating, we couldn't put a dent in it.

I did the right thing years ago and bought small cars.  I didn't get anything from the goverment.  Why do those who always do the wrong thing get help?

The Remington Corporate number is 800-(243)-(97)00 - Winchester calibers or models?

I remember when it was more fashionable to think along these lines: 36-24-36, 38-24-36, 40-24-36, 42-24-36, 44-24-36.
