Through The Nose

I ran across the new, official Universal Gas Sign recently. They should be going up across the country as soon as the relevant measures get through both houses of Congress. Actually, it's already through the House -- it's being held up in the Senate thanks to the lobbyists. Go figure.

I don't even write about the price of gas anymore. It's not news and there's nothing in the near future that looks to significantly change the status quo. There seems to be no short term solution, the mid-term solution is to produce and refine more oil in this country, and the best long-term solution is, of course, to get off our addiction to fossil fuels.

In that vein, there's a school in Tennessee that's putting up makeshift stables so some of the students can ride their horses to school. Funny how the classics always come back into style -- like the new Mustang looking just like the '69 model (it must be another "horse" thing).
