No Baywing, it hasn't yet. But that is more due to the fact that I have been working from before sun up to well after sun down almost every day since I got back from the Huntsville outting and haven't had a lot of time to shoot.
I can tell you though, at approx. $3/gal. of gas (it was $2.79 when I drove home at 9pm), it will sure change where I drive to shoot! Looks like it is time to start taking family walks up to the small lakes and parks in our subdivision. :wink:

you couldn't GET gas at any price in many areas!
From what I was hearing here in Tampa this morning, there are a few stations without gas atm. From what I was told, due to the hurricane in the gulf of Mexico, they were holding the tankers out of the gulf (understandably) and this in turn left some of the gas stations without their deliveries.
Here is a quote from Bay News 9 in Tampa:
"There's still only one port here in Tampa that has fuel," said Ross. "The remaining barges are yet to be unloaded due to the high water in the seas."

A friend of mine joked that he saw some people at a Starbucks, crying over $3.00 per gallon of gas, while they drank a cup of $7.50 latte.
Isn't it funny how this works... like you described, I have a couple guys at work that come in every morning with a cup of gourmet coffee (one says he gets two cups for his drive to work), yet this morning when they came in they were complaining about how much gas went up the past few days.

In our society with so many people having to commute long distances by car in order to work, the increased cost to a family with a fixed, and relatively low income is a disaster.
Luckily I am now working about 6 miles from home. If I was still at my old place, approx. 30 miles one way, I would be dying. Since we had our second daughter Jennifer has been staying home with the girls, having one income makes life rough, but it beats $400/week for daycare! And with that, I leave my SUV here for her if she needs to go out and drive here little 4 cyl., 30ish MPG slowpoke.
What really bites is this price hike hit just in time for us to be leaving to drive to Ohio tomorrow for a wedding, which Jennifer and our 3 yr. old Lindsey are in!!! :Curved: Had this happened a week ago I could have just had them fly up and stayed here to work beacuse the plane tickets would have been cheaper.
