1. When i got my driver's license in 1986 gas was .89 a gallon

But that was almost 40 years ago. I can remember in 1986 my grandpa going on and on about how high the price of gas was. He loved to complain about how much everything cost. I used to think being an adult means you sit around with other adults and talk about how much every costs. And it turned out that i was right.

5. Adjusted for inflation, today's 2.89 per gallon

…was 98 cents. So a little higher, yes.

I retired a few years ago and I’m already chasing kids off my lawn and complaining about prices to my wife.

6. I recall

in 61? Diesel was 12 cents a gallon and gas was 18 cents a gallon........in 67 I had a VW Bug and it was 30 cents a gallon. I would get 300 miles on a 3.00 fillup........

I forget what it was when Clinton was in office? Anyone remember??????

At any rate it was nothing compared to the prices when the Cheney/Rumsfeld/Haliburton CABAL ran up the price for no REAL reason except Oil Company Profits. I had a Diesel and was paying 4.40 a gallon, and it came down some after them, but is still priced outrageously....

I sure would hate to be a kid just starting out today with the un-fathomable prices they are facing, esp considering the stagnation in wages over the past 40-50 years........

Fine world we have made for them..............quite the legacy, don't you think........

2. Michael Mann put forth his usual fine directorial work.

Brian Cox was great as Hannibal Lector. Tom Noonan, with his six-foot six frame and muscular build, portrayed the frightening menace of the serial killer. William Peterson excelled in portraying the physically and psychologically injured federal investigator.

The movie cut off the last portion of the novel, but it is nonetheless worth viewing.

4. William Petersen

was a MUCH better Will Graham than Edward Norton.
