$38.00 To Fill Up My Car With Gas

TODAY I filled up my car with gas. Here are the vital stats:

Number Of Days Since My Last Fill-Up – 18 (right on par for 2008)

Total Gallons – 11.212 (the most since immediately following Hurricane Wilma in October 2005)

Cost Per Gallon – $3.389 (the highest ever)

Total Cost – $38.00 (the highest ever)

As I identified above I typically fill-up my car with gas about every 18 days, so with that $38.00 fill-up that’s an average of about $2.11 per day in gas that I utilize to drive in and around Homestead.

I was recently accused of being in the oil business due to the fact that I continue to defend the current price of gas here in the U.S. The facts are:

– I am not an oil tycoon, none of my friends or family members are in the oil business, and I do not own stock in any oil company.

– The U.S. is in the bottom 10 in the world as far as gas prices are concerned, and when gas prices are matched up against the per capita income of the average citizen of this country we pay less for gas than any other country in the entire world.

Bedtime Stories

This is ‘Bedtime Stories’ for a Tuesday night, and this edition of the ‘Bedtime Stories’ is all about things that I’m looking forward to doing soon.

– I’m looking forward to a fun night of food and fellowship with my Life Group family tomorrow (Wednesday) night.

– I’m looking forward to eating Lunch with this dude and this dude on Friday.

– I’m looking forward to quite possibly the Spring season finale of ‘The Major’s Walk-A-Thon’ bright and early this Saturday morning.

– I’m looking forward to another fantastic Sunday morning at Life Pointe Church followed by an afternoon of fun, food, and fellowship at Homestead Bayfront Park with my church family.

– I’m looking forward to returning to Orlando for the first time in this new Life in two weeks to attend ‘The 2008 National New Church Conference‘. Returning to a place that I used to visit several times per year for all of the wrong reasons will be quite the accomplishment for me considering the reason why I am going up there this time around. I have lived the darkness and now I am alive in the daylight. I’ll be chasing that daylight straight up to Orlando to the former scene of the crimes. Get out of my way Satan. I have no time and no use for you anymore. I’m a Jesus Freak now. I praise Him !  I worship Him !  I follow Him !

Well that pretty much wraps things up for this blog tonight. This was another one of those ‘spur-of-the-moment’ blog entries that came to me as I typed it on here. I didn’t plan it. It just spontaneously happened. It seems like whenever I just let my fingers do the talking on here it always leads back to Him. He’s that amazing.

Have a really cool Tuesday night everyone with your loved ones, and I shall anxiously await your return to this blog again tomorrow. I love you all !

Bedtime Stories

Greetings Friends this is ‘Bedtime Stories’ on this Thursday night – brought to you by the new 1959 Chevrolet Station Wagon !

This is the 4TH and final blog entry for this day. 4 blog entries in a single day is my self-imposed maximum limit. I’ve done that on many days since this blog started, and I’ve never gone past that limit. I figure that if I’m posting 5 (or more) blog entries in a single day then I’m probably spending way too much time on my computer !  😉

It’s another hard day at work for me tomorrow, but the cool thing is that it’s Pay Day Friday, and the final day of the work week. I’ve got a busier than normal weekend planned. On Saturday night I’ll be dressed up in near-formal attire for the night. Maybe I’ll get myself into some pictures so that I can post some of them on here so that all of you can see what I look like when I try hard enough to look the very best.

Be sure to catch the blog in action tomorrow afternoon. I’ve got the ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ in full effect featuring some of the best blog entries of this past week from some of my favourite bloggers that are near and dear to me and this blog. Please remember that there is to be no wagering as to which specific blog entries and bloggers will make the hot list.

Have a safe and peaceful Thursday night everyone, and until we hang out again on here remember this:

Yes, Fun To See !  Fun To Drive !  Fun To Buy !
The New Chevrolet !

Good Night Everyone !  Good Night Jesse !

Driving Hoaxes Internet

Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame

This is an Internet hoax:

DON’T FLASH HEADLIGHTS AT ANY CAR WITH NO LIGHTS ON!!

Police officers working with the DARE program have
issued this Warning:

If you are driving after dark and see an on-coming car with no headlights on, DO NOT FLASH YOUR LIGHTS AT THEM! This is a common ‘Bloods’ member ‘initiation game’ that goes like this:  The new gang member under initiation drives along with no headlights, and the first car to flash their headlights at him is now his ‘target.’ He is now required to turn around and chase and spot that car, then shoot and kill every individual in the vehicle in order to complete his initiation requirements. Police Departments across the nation are being warned. Their intent is to have all the new bloods nationwide drive around on Friday and Saturday nights with their headlights off.

In order to be accepted into the gang, they have to shoot and kill all individuals in the first auto that does a courtesy flash to warn them that their lights are off.

Make sure you share this information with all the drivers in your family!

Please forward this message to all your friends and family members to inform them about this initiation ritual. They are also known to drive with high beams on and will do the same as indicated above.

This Internet hoax has been in existence since 1998, and fresh new variants of it keep appearing in E-Mail Inboxes worldwide to this date. What was an Internet hoax in 1998 is still an Internet hoax in 2008. Hit that [DELETE] key upon receipt of it !
