Unfortunate Timing for Pickup September 02, 2005, 06:29:11 pm Yahoo Message Number: 57598Just when they're asking everyone to conserve gasoline, we have to use many gallons of it - my sister and I pick up our new MB on Thurs 8 Sept. We will depart PA on Sunday in our Ford van, drive like the wind to CA, leaving the dog in Vegas on the way; take delivery at LD, then back to Vegas to reclaim the dog, and spend the first night at Nellis AFB FamCamp, and leave the van in RV storage there. Then we will return to PA in the new LD in a more leisurely fashion, to enjoy the fall months where they are most beautiful. When the snow inevitably comes, it'll be back to San Diego for the winter, unless the gasoline supply completely dries up. The cost of gasoline doesn't worry me as much as the availability of it. Somebody please tell me it'll all be OK...I feel guilty using so much when so many people have lost everything.

But seriously, do it now while you still can. We only go this way once and if circumstance permits I'll damn well do it my way.What's the Air Force connection? I'm retired MC/AF.Steve S. Lazy Bones

Well, one way to look at it is that you won't be using heating oil, natural gas, or anything else like that while you're in your shiny new RV. So you'll be "conserving" related resources while you are using gasoline. As for feeling guilty, yes, the timing is bad for any of us who have a scrap of anything left. I feel guilty, and I'm not taking my LD anywhere for at least a month or two. Just having a roof over my head and fresh water to drink makes me feel vaguely bad. I sent a generous contribution to the Humane Association (they are doing animal rescue stuff in the area hit by the hurricane), and my husband did the same at Rotary. We all do what we can, and I know we are all thankful that we are able to.Sonsie
