The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Dadburn Big Oil !!!! Scratch One Road Trip


Well...it finally happened. Today, I cancelled our trip out to Fort Morgan, Colorado, for the 15th annual Lincoln Highway Conference. I already had paid my money to attend and had reservations at a motel...all to naught. It ain't gonna happen. I was really up for it.

And the reason is... Big Oil's greed!!!!! We could afford to take the trip, but I have no desire to make them any richer. Last fall, we almost cancelled our Route 66 end-to-end trip until the price of gas came down. Perhaps we'll have to start having things like this in the fall when the prices come down after "the summer driving season."

Of course, prices went up this year in "anticipation" of the summer driving season and the incredible "ineptitude" of BP. You can only have so many "mishaps" and "scheduled maintenances" that lead to the price of gas soaring before someone says hhhmmmnnn. Methinks something is amiss here.

Just wait until they have to post their earnings. Should be another record.

Not Buying It. --RoadDog
