Rookie120 0 #2 November 10, 2007 DAMN! Thats all I can say about that. I am afraid of how much more of this we can take before the high cost of fuel really begins to hurt the economies. I think we are hanging on now but if it hits $4.00 gal I think we will be in deep shit!If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shropshire 0 #5 November 10, 2007 I'm in the same boat(ish). I spread my time between taking the train into London and driving around to other sites (I was in Cardiff on friday ... a 400 mile round trip for a 4 hour meeting ... ouch that hurt!!). But I think that the hurt has only just begun!!! (.)Y(.) Chivalry is not dead; it only sleeps for want of work to do. - Jerome K Jerome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recall us claiming something similar about Castro. Didn't pan out as I recall. Turns out the world doesn't really work like a Tom Clancy novel after all.
