I just hope I live long enough to see an alternative fuel source come
into being. I thought initially that maybe there was hope with
Ethanol, but that does not seem to be the case. And with gas soaring,
I don't know what most people will do. Sure, they will raise it to $4
a gallon and then come down to $3.50 and there it will stay and people
will think they are getting a bargain because it decreased fifty
cents. I think we are going to see a lot of people riding bikes this
spring/summer. And paying more for groceries.
