About tough economic times getting to the Obama rally, and how this obstacle was overcome with the new optimism of 2009 derived from the determination of 2008.
Let’s see $3.10. Is that enough to get to the Barack Obama rally? Why not count the pennies. Voila! $3.78 including the pennies. Lucky you. Found $1.00 in the pocket of a blouse you decided to wear. $4.78 enough? Let’s see. Add $3.31 on the card and that should give us enough gas to Harbour Park. Uh Oh? The card did not take at WaWa, though $3.31 was on the card when last checked. Walked back inside with the dollar bill and the pennies. $4.78 at $2.22 a gallon will have to do. The cashier seemed maternal so I was not embarrassed to have her count the pennies. Walked back out to the pump and the pump read reserved. I guess the cahier was counting all of those pennies. Finally the gas pumps starts rolling and my son and I am off to the Obama campaign rally at Harbour Park in Virginia. (One of what the reporters were calling the battleground states) Wow! That meter moved to half a quarter of a tank. I can see plenty of white line beneath the gas arrow indicating that I had enough to get us there and back. Now to the lines.
