I'll tell you like "W" told them last week, "I'm the decider and I have
decided that " I will not go to anything that isn't a MUST" until the fuel
prices drop.

I just went up to Northern Illinois from Florida and returned during the
last three days and I spent double for fuel what I would have spent just a
year ago.

Next week I'm going to New Jersey, Massatuchetts, and New York and after
that I may just flush my keys.
