ot - gas price

[Matthew Gibson]

I tell you what, let's not discuss politics in an email chain. If you wanna
talk politics, let's join up for beers or sodas and we can have a
discussion about the goings on in world and local news. It's  too easy to
get mad and pull out the keyboard warrior mentality in email. It's not
productive. I'm open to meeting up though somewhere for drinks and
discussion. Anybody else?
