I took the Ranger out for a quick run this morning up at Webster Lake
prior to next weeks charity bass tournament and I stopped at
Cumberland Farms to get some gas - I was down to half a tank and I
don't like to get much lower than that.

As I was filling up my boat, some soccer mom in her, I swear to you,
Excursion pulled in and started telling me that she thought I was
being totally selfish in filling up the Ranger in this time of
gasoline shortage as she started filling her vehicle.

I ignored her, but as I was paying at the counter, she was at the next
register to me with paying a $140 bill chatting with the counter girl
that she needed to get to her summer house on the Cape because all her
relatives were going to be there for the weekend.

I was especially amused as there was a left over Kerry/Edwards and
Sullivan sticker on the bumper of her Excursion.

True story.

Just another typical liebral.....whining about others doing what they are
guilty of :-)

Shortwave, please leave the politics out of this post (I know it's your
post). The story was excellent until the bumper sticker comment. My best
friends are a soccer mom (actually little league) family of four with both
cars being Yukons. Oh, and they are hard core republicans. I love your
story cause it hits close to home. Should I go boating this weekend or stay
home? What will people be thinking about me while I fill up my truck and
boat for the weekend. Should I buy a couple of gas cans and fill 'em up?
What will people think?

See Shortwave, I told you the political card was a mistake. Now it's become
a political thread instead of a stupidity thread. ;-)

I was amused to learn that President Idiot flew AF1 down to Louisiana
today, burning a kazillion gallons of jet fuel, and isn't even
planning to tour NO.



Update...CNN is reporting Bush changed his itinerary and will indeed
tour NO.

Shamed into it? You have to wonder what his advisors are thinking.

One and the same when you are discussing a Kerry/edwards supporter :-)

My best friends are a soccer mom (actually little league) family of four
with both cars being Yukons.

There's a difference between having kids who play sports, and buying what
everyone else has because you're a dumb twit who can't make an intelligent
buying decision.

I just watched him "participate" in a television briefing in
Mississippi. Talk about a guy looking bored.

Probably interrupted his siesta.

If you're making your decision based on what people think, you should probably
just stay home.

On the other hand, if you're basing your decision on conservation of gasoline or
money, you should probably stay home.

But, if you're basing your decision on what really matters, you should do what
your wife says!

I fuel up under the cover of darkness... been doing so since July this
year when gas hit 2.399 at the pump. I wasn't sure exactly why, but now
I'm gettin' a clue...

Lonsberry says you shouldn't go anywhere this weekend... send your boat
gas $$ & auto gas $$ to the gulf states:

Rob

Not a bad idea, but I hope you don't absorb too many ideas from Lonsberry.
He's intensely stupid.
