It's not that big a deal, 1) Much cheaper maintenance, no regrowing and replanting, 2) Quicker to play games on, I mean it rains, no big deal. It's all good really, so let's all love the HEMS car.

i'd rather have a game moved to another day or get muddy then play on an astro turf baseball field...from a owners point of view its a good choice from a player,fan, and baseball point of view it's a terrible ideal

I'd rather have a lot of things, doesn't mean I'll get 'em, it's a cool idea, saves a helluva lot and it's not going to be seen in the big team's stadiums, so what little clubs do doesn't matter, since they need all the money they can get.

Well today was National Firefighter 31 cent scoop day at Dunkin Donuts, and the department had all the trucks out! (Or most of them at least haha.) I found out where the tower went: It's getting repainted. I also talked to the chief about the explorer program and saw the explorers, cool stuff. I also have some pics!

I'm not sure what's worse, how much it costs to drive, or how much it'd be for a taxi, or the bus ride..

A basic four door sedan, on monthly car payments, insured, with gas to travel 9 km to work, plus idle time at lights, costs around 150 a week, with increasing gas prices, it'll be garunteed to go up, that's just for work
A taxi would be 16.75, one way, so thats 167.50 a week just to go to work
A bus would only be around 15 bucks a week, but where I live, if I want to be to work for 8:30, I have to leave 7:10, to get to the bus to the offices

haha when I get in the city it's a little worse but on my whole trip I hit maybe 8 red lights...which for traveling that far isn't bad and since I arrive so much earlier then when an event starts traffic usually isn't bad yet.

This isn't about oil, it's about Mu'ammar Ghadhafi and he won't step down, so they banned oil exports. That's the problem here.

Yeah, $4.75 a gallon in eastern virginia. Pissing me the hell off, seriously, why do we have to have mid grase gasoline? No one buys a mid octane gasoline and gas could go down like 2-3 bucks a gallon.

I converted it Smile

Around 13 kroner per liter. At around 7 kroner per dollar, that works out to about 7$ per gallon.

EDIT: Huh, dollar has dropped. It's about 5 kroner per dollar now.
