So... in the quest for the 50,000 comment, let's have one last push.
During the last eight months, I know we have all been fairly focused on one thing: discovering who shall gain the coveted ICON of the next LJ IDOL. But, in the outside world, small things have been changing. We have been through fall, winter, spring.. and apparently into summer without batting an eye. [Of course, if you are on the underside of the world, things are reversed, but you get the idea]. There are wars still going on. Political debates.
BUT, perhaps the thing that is affecting us the most (after this IDOL quest):
Gas prices. Look, I brought a chart:
[desc: Comparison of average gas prices nationally, in Washington DC, and Tampa FL, for the last nine months.]
In September, 2007, gas was hovering around $2.75. Do y'all remember how **expensive** that was? It hit $4.22 today in DC.
How high is gas where you are now? How high is going to get? Have you changed your driving habits because of it?
One last push for the 50,000 comment?
