76 bucks to fill my tank from a tad under half just now. And that’s diesel. Diesel used to be dirt cheap. Ah but then so was gasoline.

I’m having to spend nearly four grand on maintenance for the Mercedes this quarter, first for a brake job, and then the passenger rear wheel bearing is going bad. After having a lot of expensive work done my usual thing is to go take a road trip, but with fuel prices what they are that isn’t happening.

Good thing I can walk to nearly everything I need on a day to day basis here in Charm City. But I’m going to feel suffocated not being able to drive for hours on end just enjoying the open road.
