Dog Days

Even with lower prices being recorded for gasoline ($3.805 for regular at Costco, San Luis Obispo CA), we can still say, TRAVELING HAS DEFINITELY GONE TO THE DOGS.

Please Note (posted 9:32am): Since the original post, gas has started rising once again due to Hurricane Ike. Looks like we will never get a break. Yep, it is definitely "Dog Days".

Got a Cow For Sale?

On our trip to San Francisco last week, we decided to go Highway 1 to the City. It was a fun trip (as always). However our gas fill-up before leaving really got us in an uproar - $115.03 to fill up with regular in at Costco in San Luis Obispo. That really got us worked up - so all the way, we checked gas prices. The highest was along the coast in Gordo - $6.19 a gallon for regular. My husband went to the pumps to get a picture for me to share on my blog but he was escorted away before he could snap. (From what we understand, this station was featured on CNN for its high gas prices, so I am sure they don't want any more negative publicity).

Well, after a week at doctor appointments and visiting with our daughter, it was a fill up of $107 to head home. We've got to find a way to make our monthly trips to the doctors without breaking the bank - so I think I've found a couple of solutions. Now we've got to buy a cow.

My Piggy Bank after Buying Gas Yesterday

A friend sent this picture to me today, and just had to share the truth in in it. (BTW, we had to make a quick trip to San Francisco this week, and the price difference in a gallon of regular grade gas from our place to SF was 43 cents a gallon - unfortunately the highest being where we live on Central Coast).
