Congratulations, everyone. We’ve made it to an all time high in gas prices, surpassing, NO, BLOWING AWAY the previous record by a whopping 5 cents on average. On top of that, demand is up 1%! Good job, fellow gobblers. The best news of the equation is that Wal-Mart reported a drop in sales of 3%. I’m guessing that some Eastern Montanans are doing the math on driving 200 miles to Billings to save 3 cents on laundry detergent.
I celebrated the kick-off of Bike To Work Week by riding up several canyons, getting a little lost, then eventually finding a loop that was not the loop I planned on to get back home several hours later. I also observed the day by not going in to work today, making my bike my ‘office’. I’ve been doing more of that, validated by this message left on my voicemail on Friday from my director, Bega:
“Hi Becky. You don’t need to call me back for a few days. Just wanted to say hi and that I hope you are riding. That is riding and not running….bike shipped to sponsor soon would be great…go for a ride and not a run, ok?….So, in any event, I’m assuming you are riding and not running…and be sure you don’t run anymore, but ride…Have fun not running. Ride. K, talk to you soon.”.
Thereby, in observance of Bike To Work Week, I will 1. go to work and 2. not run to work.
Here’s to hoping you all are better citizens than me,
BB
