I may need that Microphone, to make some extra bucks, now if I can only learn to hold a note. I know one thing, the Metrolink is much more crowded than usual, I have to stand sometimes.

My reference to "cruising Westwood" is a pretty good indicator I was talking somewhere in the nabe of 20 years prior to 2002. Back then I think minimum wage was about $3/hour, and give or take, gas was flirting with triple digits for the first time. Sorry for the delay responding lamapnerd.

I just thought that was funny, good movie, check it out, when you get a shot.

If it were practical for me to do so I'd give my car up tomorrow but if I could no longer afford to drive it I'd give it up today. Clearly it is in our best interest to reduce the number of cars on the road and high prices may accomplish that. I'm not saying I'll enjoy having to make a lifestyle change but I recognize that I will have to and I'm willing to sacrifice for the greater good. Also, a microphone is a good investment.

And usually was no more then about $1.25. I remember several times back in the mid 90′s when gas would get down to about .97 to .99 cents per gallon. And usually was no more then about $1.25.
