Miracle on Gray Highway

[constance]

Last night while I was out, I paid $1.63 per gallon for gas. I'm going to repeat that, because it's so unexpectedly awesome that I can't quite wrap my head around it:

$1.63 per gallon

It was so awesome that I called my father to report it when I woke up this morning, and he launched into a rant that he's obviously been saving up for the right moment, about how They jack the prices up so that we saps on the frontlines can feel grateful when they drop to manageable levels again. I said, "Well, I'm living proof that that strategy totally works." I'm so freaking grateful I can hardly stand it. I'm so grateful I'm considering daytripping just because I can.

How much are you paying? If you don't mind my asking.

I saw $1.69 this morning in Alpharetta - o the irony after September's gas shortage!

I KNOW. I'd have to drive to four different stations before finding one that even had gas to sell, and forking over those ridiculous prices made my stomach hurt. The idea that we're here, now, in two months. It just baffles me.
