Well the bright side is we are nearing the end of an error and things
will pick up again. Gas is down to 1.89 around here but its going to
take some time for folks to recoup and get caught back up. Its hard
to get by when your pumping a few hundred a week into the tank to get
to work. Especially for those who make shit wages, Thank god for the
UA. :)

The only thing that is keep ing me afloat right now is that all the low
bidders and hacks went to Houston, to grab some of that hurricane Ike money.
I am picking up what they left behind, as well as fixing their screw ups.

Gas is more like 2.50 but then, New York is high on gas prices. Yep, it's
going to take a while to get back to abnormal.

The only thing that is keep ing me afloat right now is that all the low
bidders and hacks went to Houston, to grab some of that hurricane Ike money.
