Texan's are selling off their beef, Mississippi Valley growers are flooded out. The midwest is cold and damp, crops aren't getting in. And the fuel prices to move the remaining product from one end of the country to the other, is out of hand. Its gonna be a tough year.Muffy's Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826630430126318583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174142378463600739.post-43386549882394355332011-04-27T23:39:40.200-06:002011-04-27T23:39:40.200-06:00Hey Sarah, you're not the only one with real c...Hey Sarah, you're not the only one with real costly fuel prices so quit bragging will ya? lol. It's crazy. I think that is great what you're doing for Lily. Those states will really stick in her mind. That's a great way to learn about them.Frugal Canadian Hermithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177261116826690085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174142378463600739.post-64402367537817574132011-04-27T19:10:52.890-06:002011-04-27T19:10:52.890-06:00Ouch!

I hate to admit how happy I am when I take my Prius in for 7 gallons of gas! <br /><br />I love the postcard and map project. What a neat way for your niece to learn about our country. Sorry, but I don't live in any of the mentioned states.Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174142378463600739.post-57774223998156026642011-04-27T07:28:25.314-06:002011-04-27T07:28:25.314-06:00I hear you on the fuel costs; up here it's abo...I hear you on the fuel costs; up here it's about $5.30 a gallon for gas, so we go across the border to Idaho and fuel up for about $3.70 a gallon. If this keeps up, it will hit the economy really hard, food prices will have to go up because of the cost of trucking, the cost of producing food will go up because of the cost of fuel for tractors etc.- it's a viscous circle. Sometimes I think the world is spiraling out of control and the only thing to do is to stay out of the world by living a simple life; grow as much of your own food as you can, support your local farmers instead of the big chain stores, and make do with less of everything.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454110560303310751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174142378463600739.post-49862828070325790022011-04-27T06:35:59.888-06:002011-04-27T06:35:59.888-06:00I live in Ohio so I can't help you out with th...I live in Ohio so I can't help you out with the postcards. I did want to say that it's the fuel companies that are gouging the prices, the gas station owners do not make much if any money from the fuel. I believe they make all their money from the things you buy in the store. Anyways, I haven't commented in a while and I just wanted to tell you I am enjoying your little road adventures! :)aleisethefunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05233491053810560914noreply@blogger.com
