Think of it this way: by riding your bike that much *now*, you're 
saving up for the gas budget for the drive to, during, and from the 
Invasion. :-)

$3.50?  Yikes .. and I thought gas prices in Portland were bad.  Filled 
the Bus with regular today, 9.87 gallons (holds 14) @ $2.89 .. figured 
I'd fill it *now* before it goes up any more.
