It's Tuesday. What else is there to say about that?

got a massage this afternoon, my upper back around my neck and shoulder have been nagging me lately. Then there's the 3 hour dental appointment tomorrow morning where my mouth gets assaulted with needles, drills and the like. I shall assemble a few soothing cd's tonight to take with me. They're good about letting you have your headphones on even though the noise is sometimes much louder than the music. It gives me something to concentrate on though.

Gasoline prices hit 99.9 cents a liter yesterday. ... On the *speculation* that there will be a high demand come summer!!! Speculators buy up the gas expecting there to be high demand and some shortages and that pushes the price up! As if there isn't already enough taxes and profits built into the price! I'm so glad i don't have a car. More and more i think even though i can afford one, it's just not worth the aggravation.

We had a huge shock yesterday when we opened the annual letter from the Dept of Transportation. Each year we renew the license and this year, the bill for Tim's car was over $300!!!! We couldn't believe it.

When we read the fine print, we saw that in reality, the renewal itself was a reasonable $33 and the other surcharges were $200 to help fund the *ahem* new monorail transportation system that "might" be built "someday" and the rest was a surcharge for something else that we'll probably never use.

So I guess the motorists here are footing the bill for a monorail which they probably won't use either. Go figure THAT one out!

Pah! <--disgusted sound.
