The Good Old Days....

Remember back when the cost of a gallon of gas was pocket change. Well in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, people were filling their tanks for 35 cents.

Yes, its true 35 cents! A Citgo gas station advertised their "Premium"gas for $3.43 but the pump cost read $0.349 a gallon. I'm sure it was a wild circus waiting in line for the pumps. But to bad it lasted only for 90 minutes. Read the rest of the story here :

Stupid Cheap Gas

Let me know if you have stumbled upon stupid cheap gas.

Totally irrelevant but funny....

Improving The US Infrastructure

The nation’s roads, bridges, airports, ports, intermodal links and waterways are deteriorating to an embarrassing point where it threatens U.S. competitiveness. This is just one of the many domestic problems the next president will have to face. Regardless of who's elected, if the economy is to grow, you need reliable transportation.

I believe that expansion of our transportation infrastructure should be one of the top domestic priorities. The nation hasn't added a new runway at any significant airport since Denver International Airport opened in 1995. This issue isn't a widely discussed issue in the news due to the economy and election. But who ever is elected as the next president, should realize that growth in the economy isn't possible with out improving the infrastructure that delivers it.
