Today was a GREAT day. We went out for a six hour ride on the motorcycle with another couple. And EVERY gas station we passed finally had gas, Even the gas stations out in the middle of no mans land! And not only that, Gas prices are now at $3.39!!
I was thinking while we were out riding, I will never again take gas for granted. I really do wish we had an alternative to what we have now. Maybe someday.
