Paradigm Shifting, part deux

So last November I complained about a tank of gas costing me less than $70.00. Ah, the folly of youth. That same tank now costs me almost $90.00. At Sam's club. Sheee-yit, mang. So the Tundra is officially for sale. If y'all know anyone who is interested in a very gently used 2001 Tundra SR5 with lots of the bells and whistles (sorry, no leather), lemme know. Gotta unload this albatross, y'know?

So I filled up my gas tank today. $68.95. Ouch. Kathleen and I just got back from our honeymoon in Ireland, where we paid 1.189 Euro per liter for gas. Double ouch. I'm beginning to think that maybe, just perhaps, possibly, it may no longer be smart to fire up the big V-8 pickup every morning for the 2.5-mile trip from the house to the office.

So, I am officially hereby making the plain statement that I want one of these:
