Thoughts as I Read Another Article About Gas Prices. Also, Tattoos!
Noel Bosse and Ken Davis watch as the numbers keep spinning at the gas pump -- 70 bucks, 80 bucks. Gulp, guzzle, then it stops: $101 for about 25 gallons. The $100 fill-up has arrived in the United States."I think it's absolutely ridiculous," Bosse says with disgust.
Must be a large truck or SUV.
Bosse and Davis are returning from Las Vegas, Nevada, heading back to their home near Seattle, Washington. They're pulling a trailer full of Arabian horses in their passenger van. Bosse says they're averaging 200 miles every fill-up or 10 miles to the gallon. Bosse has been showing dogs and horses in competitions across the country for 35 years. With gas prices soaring, she's starting to rethink some of the upcoming shows. "We're sitting here hauling a horse trailer eating gas," she says. "I don't see how people make it these days."
Cry me a river. I find it difficult to sympathize with someone who owns a trailer of Arabian show horses. Horses are a luxury in this case, and gas is one of those luxury expenses when you've got trailer and going to shows. Geez. Hummer owners don't get my sympathy either.
Shifting topics, I recently was reminded of the number of requests for tattoo designs I see on art sites, often in a vain attempt to save money. But most people don't want to do your tattoo for free. Moreover, any tattooist worth his or her ink can make your concept a reality. They are artists too. (Even if they do sorta freak me out. Ow ow ow.)
