What would you do (in terms of changing your driving habits or lifestyle) if gas hits $5 this summer?
The bejazd family is making thoughtful decisions to conserve at every opportunity. High gas prices are actually helping our business at present, because clients who might have driven some distance for the same service are now sticking closer to where they live and coming to our office.
I know I am walking more and turning down invitations to do things that involve driving very far. My son's high school actually has corrals for students' horses...they haven't been used in years!!! I'm wondering if we'll see kids riding their horses to school again next fall!

So far I think it's been helping our business as well, and we're expecting a busier summer than usual. Higher gas prices means less boating time and around here, many people practically live out on the water in the summertime. It's really the only thing to do around here.

I hope that don't. Any kind of product that involves corn will sky rocket and that'll hurt restaurants... and families who love corn.
