Default The cost of boating just went up. Gas hits all-time high.

The little Ford Ranger trucklet I just got with a 4.0L V6 gets just about
the same miles per gallon on gas as the 11,500 lb. GVW F-350 Powerstroke
Diesel Crew Cab 4x4 behemoth that it replaced did on diesel.


Amazing ain't it? big honking diesels getting better gas milage that
a baby truck?

It's not easy being green.


Espiecally if you are in Congress.

They just passed an "adjustment" to the rules govening travel. Now if
you are a "friend", you can supply air travel to your friendly
congressman or senator.

Cool huh?
