Gas pains

Although locally the price has begun to come down a bit ($2.43), traveling by car is pretty painful right now.

We spent the weekend near our relatives in San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, and Lompoc putting nearly 700 miles on the old family truckster. Our dining-out budget suffers from the high price of gas...some fast food, snacks brought with us, and a bread bowl of our favorite clam chowder from The Splash Cafe in Pismo.

We are all in the same boat if we drive at all. It looks like it may be time to dust off the old "bone shaker" for a while. I wonder if I remember how to ride it? That's right...it's something you never forget.
