High Gas Prices...
Are Harshing my Mellow...
Dude, yes, gas is getting expensive. It's even to the point where local news channels seem to be ready to ditch all other news to report solely on this issue - they are literally freaking out. The rest of us will sadly just have to suck it up. Fortunately, I've got a minimal commute (about 2 miles) and I usually take mass transit (which isn't that great, but it's a lot less expensive than driving).
Anyway, the high gas prices are pushing more people onto metro, which on a good day can barely handle a moderate crowd...creating delays and packing in the trains. Apparently, this week has seen 4 of the top 10 ridership days in metro's history...It's all harshing my mellow.
