Exxon runs up record $36B profit
Filling up my little Escort, an “economy” car, I put in $34 on Sunday night. That’s just topping up the three-quarters of a tank that was void of precious fuel.
This is a weekly thing, and all I can think is, “I can’t wait until I commuting on TTC and only paying $100 per month”. Just on saved gasoline, the TTC pass is going to pay for itself.
Those who know me, know how uncomfortable I am in crowds. Some would think that pining for a ride on the TTC, an hour each way, every day is against my character. I have to admit, a large part of my feelings is due to a “grass is always greener” line of thinking. However, I only tend to read novels when I commute on transit, and I haven’t read much of anything over the last few years.
Also, it gives me a good reason to buy a PSP. Or a morality-bending digital media player.
One quick DoubleThink… “Yeah, we’re bigger than Wal-mart, but that doesn’t mean we have any control over the price of oil or gas“.
“O ya, I’m moving in with Simone around June.”
Just in case someone out there *is* the last to know…
Does that mean the Paul is moving in with Amanda?
*rolls eyes*
I’ll give you $750 cash for your car when you move, if you want to save money and take transit!
Hi Steve, did you get into an accident or something? I think your car is worth more than that?
No, Pete just wishes he could have a sweet ride like my ZX2
This was Pete test-driving my car.
Remind me to never let him drive my car again.
I like low-balling…
I don’t *think* there’s any more damage than Steve (or myself!) have already done to the car… but there’s always hope!
More damage = less $$$
