Buy a horse...yea we were just talking about the Amish and how lucky they are about now..I bet the cost of hay would sky rocket to $6 a bale then...and feeding my 300 horses in my truck for $3 seems pretty cheap then.. ...anyhow, I moved closer to my work by 1/2 the miles..even close enough that I had walked and rode a bicycle before...my house before was paid for and I managed to pay this one off too...just before my work place moved 25 miles away to another county because of the taxes here...so what was I to do then?..we car pooled but in the trucking industry, not everyone gets done at the same time of the day like a 9-5 job..so we were forced again to fend for ourselves..and I think everyone here at h/c is a survivor or you wouldn't be here..we have all bitten the bullet so to say to get this far but you all have to admit there is needless overkill on things like taxes, prices of gasoline, housing, etc..I just think the gov can give us a gasoline tax break now in the time of need to help keep the economy going. Yea I chose to buy a truck..after owning a few impractical mini vehicles..how about the vw beetle?..I owned 2..room?..none...would be kind a tough putting a 200lb truck tire in the trunk or on the roof..bigger vehicle...needed..not wanted..I think we all have a gripe at the government here when they jump at the chance to help the world and not the homeland..so asking them to do so isn't out of the question..and I agree those in the south were told weeks ahead water 30' + were heading their way..so I would have pushed my grocery cart with my belongings to high ground instead of waiting for the hand out...true, we all want...the opp is there for all of us..just need to step aside and let ourself pass..cause we are in our own way..unless we depend on something else like gasoline....that someone else controls...oh..they fine ya for letting your horse poop on the street here too....lol...and you're not allowed to recycle it in the fields either because envirowhackers say so...we need a good lawyer to set them people straight...know of any?...lol..pump oil in Alaska...yee ha..
