‘don’t plan long-distance road trips and try an alternative means to travel’, they said on the news. gas prices were off of the fucking charts. four dollars a goddamned gallon. it was the middle of a national oil crisis, and you lived two towns over.
four dollars a gallon. roughly seventeen cents a mile. about a dollar and fifty six cents to get to you.
with that month’s paycheck of two hundred forty one dollars and eighty cents, i could afford to drive to your house and kiss you one hundred and fifty four times, and once more if you’d meet me half way.
now that,
that would be a paycheck well spent.
