Crazy Fuel Prices

WOW! In the two weeks that I've had my motorcycle, the price of gas has gone thru the roof! I've ridden my bike to work every day since I got it (10 working days)and spent $28. I figured it up, and filling up the car for that amount of time would have cost me over $75 (with the truck costing about $120). I'm feeling pretty smart right about now. It has been raining today, so I drove the car, but other than bad weather days, I will be a motorcycle commuter for at least a couple more months.
We are all home for a few weeks- camps are over, and school has started. I am so proud of Chance and Reagan - they are awesome kids! It is such a blessing to be around them. They do their chores, without being reminded to do them, they do their school-work, again without being prodded. They both love pizza, which dad appreciates, because he can justify getting pizza more often. Chance is turning into a very mature pre-teen. We have great discussions about stuff (a wide range of topics from Jedi to Jesus). Reagan continues to have that very cute little girl thing going on, but every once in awhile I see what a great woman shee will be one day.
I won't even get started talking about Beth - there isn't enough time to spend writing how great she is. Suffice it to say that I would be lost without her. Lost, and sad, and lonely, and pathetic. Not that I'm not some of those things even with her ( sad and pathetic mostly).
Anyway, we are cruising along pretty normally - 4 weeks until Yellowstone!
