Um, this is not good. Especially when you pair it up with all the record profits the oil companies are making:

I remember in December thinking how horrible it would be for it to go above $100, now it's at $135? This is really not good news.

I have a small car...and just paid $37 for HALF a tank of gas. We are at 4.17 gallon.

I guess I'll have to get sturdier shoes.

I'm sure hoping the job I'm starting next month in Seattle is on the bus line and that the hours will allow me to take the Sounder(tm) Train from Tacoma to Seattle.
