As I've said in several of my previous posts, not only will I not fill up on
those days, but I have had to cut back drastically on my consumption-that
is-I'm not driving as much as I was. Which, as this is really my main
pleasure in life, has been a hardship. (I already don't go to the movies,
don't hang at the Mall, don't have a all the electronic toys at home, don't
have cable-really going for a little ride once or twice a week and maybe
visiting with some friends is my only real treat-and now, I'm cutting THAT
out.)
But, even with the cut backs that I am making out of necessity, not buying
any gas those three days at all is part of that taking a stand. And for me,
better than doing nothing at all.
