Rampant optimism

[chth]

Today, as I was filling up less than one third of my car's gas tank, I began to think of how high the price of petroleum has risen. But then, as I was walking across the lot to pay the allocated ten dollars and one cent, I began to think of how much a gallon really is. That's a milk jug. If someone approached me at random and offered five milk jugs full of gasoline for ten dollars and one cent, I would give them a ten dollar tip.

I might as well get used to this mindset, 'cause summer's a-coming, and it's a-coming quick.
