Gas prices are DOWN! Which means I can get in the car and drive baby drive!

Before they skyrocketed, I used to like hopping in the car at night and driving for an hour down (or up) the interstate before turning around and coming back. Many times, I’ll listen to the same song over and over for two hours…

like this one:

or this one…

or more recently, on a trip to visit Court in O-ca-la…

But this is the time of the year when my absolute fave is to dig out my cd (I wore out two cassettes back in the day) of The Hurting, blow off the dust, and drive for a couple of hours to the first half or sometimes the whole thing depending on the mood. I know, SO 80s but I don’t care. I remain forever indebted to K.H. for my first dubbed copy on tape and to Rach for buying me my first copy on CD. :)

Gas has been so expensive that I haven’t been able to do this in ages but if prices stay this way for just a little longer, maybe I’ll be able to indulge one last time before the holidaze.
