Vacancy

Here in Colorado gas prices were at $3.00/gallon yesterday (haven't got out to check them yet today). Last night I had to go over to the big city to the east of me to run some errands and it was around 9:00pm before I started heading up the road to my little foothills town that depends heavily on the summer tourist trade. Something didn't feel right to me as I drove back up the main drag toward home, and I finally realized that it was the lack of traffic on the street and the all the vacancy signs on every motel and inn that I passed. Wait! This is labor day weekend! Normally, I would be negotiating packed roads and cussing out idiots from Kansas. The quiet was almost eerie.

Wonder how long its gonna take for the gas prices to go down in the wake of the destruction around NO. Wonder if they WILL come down! Wonder what's going to happen to the economy if this gas price thing is prolonged. Thoughts?
