            Newsflash! During the months of July thru September is hurricane season. Also in the news, it’s summer time and Americans tend to take more road trips during this time. New excuses to raise gas prices, do you have any? 

            These are the headlines on the oil company’s newsletters. As if these are new ideas. So why is it gas prices jump up every time we have a hurricane? Don’t they know they are coming? Couldn’t they increase the shipping before and after the hurricane season? This would make sense. It’s like the toy makes that decide to take a vacation months before Christmas. Isn’t like the kids need any toys for Christmas.

            As I am sure many of us are tired of paying high gas prices because our government, oil companies and foreign governments don’t find it in their best interest to help out the working class. Why should they? We will just mumble under our breath, talk it up with a friend or two and pay the high gas prices for their poor planning and lack of foresight of the oil companies. If we all worked and planed this way, we’d be homeless. But I guess if you have money, it’s best to make sure you keep it and let no one else can top ya.

            So to give you a heads up for next year, between July and September hurricanes will be blowing through the Gulf of Mexico and the rest of the world. Also, I am sure a summer vacation or two will be plan involving driving a car (which runs on gasoline still) from point A to point B and back again. So maybe you can plan for that and I don’t have to cancel my road trips because I want to eat this month. I couldn’t ask the President to help, he is to busy blowing up your country right now….
