Back in college, Dope Wars was all the craze. It's basically a game where the goal is to move around the city buying drugs cheap and selling them for a profit. It's like the stock market only with a dangerous edge!
I feel like I'm in a constant game of Dope Wars right now with gasoline! Everytime I drive by the Flying J in Lowell (some of the CHEAPEST gas anywhere, yo) I look at the price and try and decide whether to buy gas or not. Last week I took a risk and only filled 1/2 my tank up because it was $4.04 and I thought the price would go down. Well, the next time I had to fill up it was $4.17. DOH. That sucked. Today I was on my way home and I had 1/2 a tank of gas, but I noticed that gas was only $3.97... So I stopped and filled up. If I go out tomorrow and see that it is cheaper, I'm going to be SOOOOO pissed!

I loved Dope Wars.
I wouldn't get too bent out of shape about it. If you have to fill 15 gallons in a week and the price difference is $0.20, that is only $3. So basically, if you can drink one less beer on Friday night, you come out even. Of course only you can determine it is worth it or not.
My favorite Andy Rooney moment (from 60 minutes) was when he was talking about driving 60 miles round trip to Jersey to save 25 cents a gallon on gas. What a silly goose!
Did Ahow really say that he has a favorite Andy Rooney moment? interesting.
I love Andy Rooney. Someday I want to be a curmudgeonly old man. I'm already over half way there.
