It's amazing how quickly things can change. It was just a short time ago Canadians used to cross the border to fill up their gas tanks...those that lived close to the border. Not anymore, and no immediate reprieve in sight. I don't even know what the cost is anymore. It cost me $60. last time I filled my tank compared with a $40. fill up 6 months ago, compared to a $20. fillup when I was working....5 yrs ago. I'm thinking about buying a donkey. It would keep the grass under control, I don't need a license to ride it, and I'd have someone to talk to when I'm lonely. The only drawback is I'd have to leave Tuesday for my Neuro apptmt on Thursday!
