Lisa's mom took this photo of a local gas station sign showing us how outrageous gas prices are in Roanoke. And...Roanoke is certainly cheaper than larger cities...but it's all relative to the cost of living. Looks like a bicycle would be a good transportation option when we return for a visit this summer. Or a horse. Oh wait...it's not EVEN summer yet. The price of gas will only get worse. Oh yes, and Lisa will have to fill up her own tank of gas. Don't you feel sorry for her? In Dubai, all of the gas stations are full-service which means she doesn't even get out of the car. Of course, that is definitely a perk when it is 127 degrees outside. Thanks Dubai!

You should move to New Jersey - its full serve there too! Yesterday, Ilena and I were watching Sideways, a movie that came out 3-4 years ago maybe (I think). One scene when they were pulling out of a gas station caught my eye, because the prices were around $1.65/gallon. Which means prices have more than doubled since then. Insane. We're glad to not have a car in Japan this year!
