My cousins fiancee been babbling on about this don’t buy gas tomorrow nonsense, it may sound like a good idea but if you really look into it. Not purchasing gas on a set day isn’t gonna do anything as your are gonna fill up or have already your vehicle this week in gas.

Always seen things as half full, and always two sides to the story kind of person. The price of gas will keep increasing even if nobody likes it as there are A LOT cars on the road, but yet more greener cars and fuel is being harder to find. For example if you look at any public transport ie, ferries, transit buses they might have a full load of people one trip and barely anyone the next. They aren’t gonna stop running because they don’t have the max number of people on board.

Sure I was personally venting the other day about how much I personally pay for gas on my car.. Now try being the person who deals with public transit and how much it costs to fill up every bus in the city. Would not want to be in their shoes at all.

Though I’ve always thought instead of just increasing the ticket prices and making the people in the ‘burbs folk out more money. Is to have more buses out there servicing all over the place, non of this lack of service on Sunday bull crap anymore and have long hours of running on Thursday to Sunday nights/Monday morning for those who work at pubs and or are coming home from a pub. Also though about having different pay grid for different areas is stupid.. Just make it one grid for the whole city so it doesn’t matter if you are just traveling in the city or to the ‘burbs. I dunno.. to me it makes sense..

If you could change your public transit system in your area, what would you do?

C4AC #4 – Raining Rhinos N Elephants

I do live on a Wet West Coast, I should be use to this wetstuff but lately I’m just getting tired of hearing it and or driving in it. Rather have a few days of sun or cloud or rain but not weeks worth all at once. Because of this rain the drive out to practice was crazy, and I’m sure it mostly had to do with the Canucks being in the playoffs.. Saw at least 3 accidents and someone almost got me because they were tailgating me.. Doesn’t anyone look more then just the car in front of them when they drive?

As I got to practice tonight and started prepping my go pro camera for our steersmen to wear, the weather went from the normal cat and dog saying to a lot heavier and gross (ie rhinos and elephants) so badly that within seconds of stepping out of the car to take pictures/video of the whitecaps, I was soaked from head to toe. Thankfully practice was relocated inside a very warm pub.

I really hope this rain forecast isn’t gonna follow us to every regatta like it did last year. :ugh:
