Sit Down First

Oh -- you're already sitting down? OK, here's some news I'm sure will shock and amaze you:

CAMARILLO, Calif. - Gas prices are on the rise again, just as Americans hit the highways for Thanksgiving. Gas prices rose about 5 cents per gallon nationwide compared to two weeks ago, industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday. The national average for mid-grade was $2.34, while premium was $2.44 per gallon. The lowest average price in the nation for self-serve regular was in Houston, where a gallon cost $2.05.

Of course, that doesn't mean that any of us want to go to Houston, merely for the gasoline. But don't ya think that someone somewhere would make the connection between the rise of gasoline prices and the increase in travel? Airlines, oil companies, travel agents and hotels screw consumers over the same time every year, and we just bend over and take it. I guess we get what we deserve.

So, to take your minds off your misery, here's a video about a woman who has a man trapped in her basement, lets him out only to bury him in her back yard, then hoses him off and chases him around for a minute or two.

It's a bit old now, but no older than that Bob Seger song; but sometimes, stuff gets stuck in the CD player and you can't get it out. That's why there's YouTube
