if you guys saw the gas prices here you'd cough up cows. i'll spare you the math but between euros and liters but it comes out to over $7 / gallon. it's one reason why it's so expensive to own a car here. even some that do don't use it for their daily commute but only for outings or places you can't reach with public transport. i do miss having a car, i tell ya though. i am shocked to hear about those gas prices in the US. my golly. time back, a friend told me it hit 2 bucks in Florida and i coughed up a cow then. my oh my.

on a more weathery note, we might get snow soon. it's forecast for elevated areas ... we are in for some cold weather for sure with or without the white fluffy stuff. and the trees are still mostly green with a bit of yellow and a few fallen brown leaves! poor things! they haven't really had a chance to really splay out the reds.
