I can't believe that I missed this: Teen Kills Brother Over Video Game
Wow, the average for Texans nearly $2,200 in gas? My commute sucks--I'm at well over $5,000 a year. :(
We're at about $1200. Cory, where the hell are you going with all that gas??? :D
I can't either, Bargas.....I'm so disappointed.
Well, as of TODAY, I put in my notice so I can start my new job ITL! I've been commuting to Galveston for work everyday for the last two years. 110 miles/day. Awful. And, we're moving to a place just a few blocks away from Rice, so I may even be able to bike to work and spend next to nothing! Whoop!
