Headline in Yahoo news Wednesday:
Experts predict busy Thanksgiving travel
Thanks, Experts!
A few years ago I saw a report on the local TV news about oil companies reducing gas prices just in time for the holidays. “They pull this PR stunt every year and the news falls for it every year.” They interviewed a woman filling up her minivan who said she and her family had cancelled their trip to visit grandma in Ohio because of gas prices, but now they were going after all. Let’s see. Prices went down six cents a gallon. Your minivan probably gets 20 miles per gallon. Your trip is maybe 1000 miles round trip. So, you’re going to save three bucks.
Next year you need a better excuse for not driving to Ohio.
Anyway, I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving, and if there is Tofurky involved in yours in any way, I don’t want to hear about it.
