The next time I fill up, I'm going to think about how nice it will be to be able to ride my bicycle again as the weather turns warm.
I'm also going to think how much job security I will have after I get out of school qualified for jobs in the alternative energy development sector.
I also might think about the guy filling up right next to me, the one who is all alone in his denali, who is paying $60 dollars to fill up- paying $60 to fill up and be inadvertently part of a collective effort to inflate the price of gas by driving a vehicle that unnecessarily increases demand, and how the free market has a nasty tendency to stab itself in the back.
And then I might also think about how my early 90's buick doesn't get good gas mileage at all, and how that's a pretty good reason to ride my bicycle, and how it's pretty sweet that the weather is getting warm again.
