In the future, we will all have flying cars! But our kids will be jerks.
When I was driving to work yesterday, I thought, "Well, it's Tuesday. Gas prices are usually lowest on Wednesday or Thursday, but this is a holiday weekend, so I should probably fill my half-empty tank this evening when I get off work."
Between driving past the gas station in the morning and the time I got off work, gas in my town went up 30¢ a gallon! Argh! I am obsessed with gas prices so I tend to watch them like a hawk so that I can save something like 20¢ on a fill-up, but this will probably be a difference of about $2.50. That kind of stuff adds up!
Do we have to wait another eight years for Doc Brown to reveal our flying DeLoreans that run on garbage?

So many things attracted me to this post. The Back to the Future DeLorean reference and a reply with 'crapped my pants' in the sentence. What can I say.
You know gas prices are high when women talk about crapping their pants...because we all know that girls do not poop, nor do they fart.
So you watch prices like a hawk...like a 'red' hawk har har har. Actually I was talking with some fellow enginerds the other day about the novelty of cars that could run off of urine. Sort of a true 'biofuel'. The reference to Doc Brown's Mr. Fusion did come up by the way. Back in the day, I heard about people peeing in gas tanks all the time...as a prank. Not so much now, I guess the fad has died off. I think I'll use that idea to try to get my first research proposal if I ever finish grad school.
Seriously! I almost crapped my pants when I saw how much it went up. And that would have been messy, so I'm glad it was only almost.
