Besides, you'll have really great legs.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, the stock market is going to crash anyway. Don't sweat the big stuff, because in the long run, gas prices don't really matter. Either, when we run out of petroleum, everyone will collaborate and find some other way of moving their lazy selves from point A to point B, or utter chaos will engulf the country and life as we know it will dissapear forever.<BR/><BR/>Humans are very adaptable creatures, even the lazy ones.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679548717696521732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13779951.post-1145068319144270972006-04-14T20:31:00.000-06:002006-04-14T20:31:00.000-06:00A "swimsuit edition of the blog" eh?

Featuring what ... gasoline nozzles leaking out a micron-size blip for $10 into a giant Hummer which might allow it to roll to the next gas pump in the same station? But oh yeah, you'd need one of those scantily-clad auto-show GM-girls to be holding the nozzle. OK, throw in a few men-in-kilts shining the chrome bumpers & you may have a winner! Americans love a distraction to keep the "velveeta" in their heads from seeping out.

But...I also lost your comment (fortunately, I had a carbon copy)...<BR/><BR/>So, here it is, back to the way it should be spelled I suppose.<BR/><BR/>Maybe there should be a swimsuit edition of the blog featuring all those caught by surprise by summer's premature, 2 mo.s early, arrival?<BR/><BR/>Oh, and thanks for making the excellent point that "shelter" is still being included (too hold down price index due to crashing home prices in parts of the country?). Or, have they just been reinserted in the cost index, now that their prices are deflating? To counteract us have to commute and eat and stay warm and keep our cool.Dadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17257598218959429347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13779951.post-1145032104707549052006-04-14T10:28:00.000-06:002006-04-14T10:28:00.000-06:00Oh god, shades of reaganomics!

'Course the air gets pretty thin a few thousand feet up, at least that's what scientists say (but pat robertson might argue armegeddon & that whole rapture thing will save their oxygen-starved asses).<BR/><BR/>But dada, did you not notice they left in that other essential, "shelter", in their inflationary calculations? Does that mean they know the housing bubble has burst (info they are keeping to themselves) & so is exerting a de-flationary effect on their already skewed numbers? Why else would they leave it in, unless it helped their case? If it hurt, like food & energy, they would just leave it out!<BR/><BR/>hahaha, you intentionally truncated your title word to "econmic" to reflect their chopping off valid economic elements? Now THAT's truly rare wit!<BR/><BR/>And your "swimsuit" comment reminded me of Carter's "belt-tightening" ... pretty soon we will all be down to skeletons, bleached bones like our fuel-guzzling autos & that will leave a perfect world for these endtimers.
