Well my friends and I have agreed to get together and see the Dark Knight movie today. We’re going to get together to eat lunch at Wendy’s first and then go see the movie. We had discussed going to eat at the Golden Corral because it is an all you can eat buffet, but we all wanted to leave room for movie theater popcorn! Both of those restaurants are in the same shopping center as the movie theater, which is why we narrowed our choices down to those two restaurants. We all like both of those restaurants, the deciding factor was the popcorn. I’m sure we will all enjoy ourselves tremendously; we always have a good time when we get together!

I was watching the news and they were talking about how the cost of gasoline is going to keep going up, and how the price of corn is going to go up (because of the floods) and how the price of milk is going to go up (and the stores are going to be switching to funny shaped milk jugs to save money) and it just makes me shake my head and wonder how we are going to survive!  Our economy is in serious trouble, and I don’t know very many people who say that they are NOT having trouble making ends meet!  I’m hearing stories about people who are renting their homes are moving closer to their jobs, taking smaller apartments simply because they can’t afford the gasoline to drive to work.  I’m hearing about people who are trying to take public transportation but can’t get on the train or the bus because it’s already full.  I’m hearing about people driving to the commuter lots and not finding places to park.

We need some serious re-vamping of the public transportation system, and we need to find alternate sources of fuel, to get away from fossil fuel dependency!  If we don’t act fast, we are going to be in deep trouble!
