GRAMMAS ARE RIGHT

We have two cars.

Thus far, they run reliably and require only routine maintainence.
We get monthly 'emails' from one of them informing us of any a mechanical problems or vehicle-related subscriptions.

The other day came a rare advisory to add a few pounds of air to each tire.
It was not a warning – just an advisory.

So, for the first time in many, many months we took ourselves, the car and I, up to the nearest gas station to do the duty.

A change had occurred in the last few months.

75 cents to fill up on air.

The same at the second nearby station.

And 50 cents at the third try.

Such a deal!!!

Now we are told that the operators of the ‘gas stations’ do not reap the harvest’ enjoyed by the refiners, but really….75 or 50 cents for air???

Not good.

We pump our own gas. We wipe our own windows. And now we pay for bursts of air.

And soon the cost of gas will again begin its ascent.

Gramma used to say that nothing is free in this life.

Grammas are right about a lot of things.
