I usually don’t fill up the gas tank in my car – usually just put in about 20 bucks or so at a time which usually lasts quite a while since I’d really drive that much. By avoiding the big fill-up, I don’t worry so much about the fluctuating gas prices. This time, since I had a little traveling to do this past weekend, I filled up Thursday morning on the way to work. Grand total: $42.86 It went up that afternoon again, so at least that’s something, but it was still quite a shock to see. I think there are ways to fix the gas price problem – but most of them involve getting people to not be greedy. So, not likely.<\/p>\n

I got in 96 laps total last week – and did 36 today. Getting off to a good start on the week. I’ll have to check my records to see what my per week record is.<\/p>\n

I went and visited my parents this past weekend for Father’s day. My sister and brother-in-law came over too and we watched some movies, played some dominoes, and went for a hike. My sister didn’t have the right shoes so she had to borrow a too small pair from mom. A substantial blister was the result. I just had my flip flops and while they were a little uncomfortable and loud, they didn’t cause me any injury. Also, we saw a small toad on the trail – so, that was cool.<\/p>\n

We weren’t sure where to go for dinner for father’s day that wouldn’t have huge lines – so, we went to CiCi’s pizza in a nearby town. The food was pretty good, the service was okay – but some of the other customers were a little disturbing to see. Let’s just say they could have benefited from more trips to the salad bar and fewer trips to the dessert area. <\/p>\n

That’s about it for now… later…<\/p>\n
