Gas prices on the rise

I remember when I got my drivers license and gas was at roughly 80-90 cents per gallon. Each year since, it seems, as seen a dramatic increase in the price of gas since.

The past few years have seen the most dramatic increase, going from $1.25 to $2.60 per gallon. This morning, I read that due to the recent events in the Gulf Coast, we could be seeing gas at $4.00 per gallon in the very near future.

I REALLY wish that the US could go towards another and cheaper alternative fuel method. It's a shame that we, as a country, are so controlled by crude oil. It kinda reminds me of the dependancy of a drug addict. Americans just need to be sent to a rehabilitation center to get off the junk.

Google finally starts putting in real ads!

I found this to be interesting.

The other day I made a post about cell phone ring tones. Today, I visit my Web site and see the following ad on the site:

The ads seem to be working...

I know this isn't anything terribly special to anyone but myself, but until now I've only seen two kinds of ads on my Web site. The first kind have been these "Save the rain forest" kind of ads, which I don't mind ... but they're bland. The second has been for this photo place that I've never heard of. This is the first example of an ad on my Web site that actually matches the content of my site.

It's cool to me, anyhow...
