As I was filling the gas tank in my VW the other day, I watched the ticker climb higher and higher until it stopped at almost $25! Aaaack! With gas well over $2.00/gallon, I guess I just better get used to it and like it.

Helping me to get perspective on this matter comes recent guests on Charlie Rose. According to Vijay Vaithees, after all, gasoline is still the cheapest liquid sold at your neighborhood gas station/quik-e-mart.

OK, but somehow when I plunk down a dollar for a 20 oz. Diet Vanilla Coke, it doesn't seem all that bad.

Guess I'm going to have to have an attitude adjustment...
