Where do I start? On our move out here we drove the 2000 miles to Breckenridge. Among the things worth mentioning were a tiny chihuahua(SP) named dinky that lept up to our RV in a campground, us staying next to and I mean next to one of the roller coasters at cedar point and have random objects land on us and of course the time when we met someone who hadsuh a drawl that you could not understand him. Somehow my interpretation of what he was trying to say was not exactly what he was trying to say. Other then that it was a pretty uneventful trip.

on some interstate highways out here the state dot puts out big blue signs that tell where the nearest gas, food, and attractions are.

driving the New York Thruway last week, i saw this gem, i think near exit 17 or 18. I guess it can be classidfied as an "attraction".

Still paying around $2.09 for gas here in NH, but it's going up...

You guys are pretty darn lucky. Cheapest 87 grade gas is $2.40.9. Once diesel hits $3.13 I quit buying it and go to costco for 4.33 gallons of soybean frying oil for $13.

Don't complain too much about those "high prices". Here in Norway you pay between 9 and 10 crowns per liter at 6.5 crowns to the dollar. It's not kuwait, but they have plenty of oil and just found a lot more up north, offshore.

We're sitting on a gold mine in alberta. 5 billion dollar surplus to the gov't from high oil prices. Though we don't really get gas that cheap. Cheaper than norway perhaps at about 80-90cents liter
