19 Cents a Gallon

In 1969, my husband, Dan, worked for a corner convenience store that pumped gas for 19 cents a gallon during a local gas war.  Forty years later, in January, 2009, the price of gas was $1.79 a gallon.*  The other day, I paid $3.77 a gallon for the lowest grade of gas. It's been three years and five months since Obama's inauguration in 2009.  Big changes were supposed to happen.  And they did.
