Gas prices

Well I don't know anything about the oil business, that's for sure.  But it just doesn't make any sense to me when oil companies are reporting record BILLIONS (with a 'B') of PROFIT (not earnings!) each quarter, and they have to stick it to us in the rear end when oil prices go up.  It would probably make us all puke our guts if we saw the salaries and bonuses the oil executives are pulling down.

But what burns my butt the most about this is how unwilling our government is to step in and do something about it, including that empty bubble headed moron in the Whitehouse. Oh, wow...he went to OPEC and begged them to increase production...wink, wink, nudge, nudge.  RIGHT!  You can't convince me that his unwillingness to do anything real and concrete isn't because HE IS ALSO PROFITING HAND OVER FIST ALONG WITH THE FREAKIN OIL COMPANIES!!  We were warned 8 years ago when that clown took office that he would bankrupt this country.  HA HA...guess what?  He's danged close to doing it.  Foreclosures? Up.  Unemployment?  Up. Property values? Down.  Dollar? Weakest it's ever been. Oh yeah...gas prices?  The sky's the limit apparently.

Sorry if I'm offending any Bush supporters.  Yeah, I know he's a good ol' boy from Texas and likes to bass fish.  But dangit, he's not doing his job now and it's gonna get worse and worse before someone else steps in and stops the bleeding.  Oh yeah, gee, thanks for the $600 check George.  At $4 a gallon that'll fill the boat three times.  Great.

We can whine about gas prices all day and all night long.  So I decided to stop whining and take on a new motto besides the one at the bottom of my posts.  The motto is:

Catchin' Bass and Burnin' Gas.....That's how I roll!!!

But seriously folks, all high gas prices are going to make me do is fish less tournaments and more for fun with my kids.  I won't be fishing any of those high priced expensive tournaments.  Won't be worth it.  I will stick to my club tournaments and NBAA Oakland One on One for sure.  Maybe some NBAA weeknight tournaments depending on where the lakes are.  I won't be going to any one division week in and week out. 

I got two kids I am going to have to put through college.  My kids think I just go out to the money tree in the backyard and pull off $20 bills.     This year I am planting $50's and $100's.     It's the only way I can keep up with inflation.

UAWBigdog can I buy a couple of seedlings or sprouts from you off the $20.00 and $100.00 trees. I'll try to keep the $20.00 tree hidden from the wife so I can buy fishing stuff and I'll let her have the $100.00 for every thing else. Do you have any special growing instructions or just a healthy dose of miracle grow on a regular basis? Will a growlight help or will it turn the money prematurely brown? Can I water them to much?
Looking forward to getting my order to you. By the way, do you take pay-pal or will you differ payment till the first crop comes in?
