So can any of you insiders share how the high price of gas is affecting the porn industry?

$3.78 in Savannah, GA.

Weber Grills Rock!

I really like the flooring commercial where the dog gets scared and pees.

I'm going out to play trivia challenge tonight. Wish me luck!

I saw some kid with an open bag at the Grocery looking suspicious. He was hanging out near the beer. I mentioned it to the management. I guess they didn't get on it. Cuz I saw him running out later with no pursuit. I could see his bag. He was stealing bread and muffins. I watched him trot off not feeling bad he didn't get caught.

Well, it's technically St. Joseph, but when my car is in the 3% of the vehicles in the parking lot that isn't a pickup, that says something.

Gas is going up to CAD$1.273 per litre at midnight here.

That's CAD$4.819 per US gallon, or precisely US$4.90 per US gallon. Ouch.
The good news is my car still usually costs less than 40 bucks to fill up.

In the meantime, crude oil hit $135 a barrel today.

One of my fellow interns drives a Chevy 3500 with the diesel engine. He gets 15mpg. He regularly makes the 200 mile trip back to Iowa to see his friends. That's around $150 per trip home just in fuel.

Talked to my former boss today.

He saw $ 4.50 at a gas station in Chicago today. Ouch.

I was gonna say that must be premium, but http://www.chicagogasprices.com/ claims up to $4.85 for regular in Alsip/Chicago.

However, that seems to be anomaly (or simply incorrect). Other Alsip prices are up to $4.29, with Chicago-Central up to $4.45-4.49.

Seriously, at this rate, I'm not going to be able to afford to go to work. I drive 60 miles round trip to-from work.
What, me worry?

I think a lot of people are in this situation. This is going to be a major drag on our economy as people realize that putting gas on a credit card will only fly for a little while.
