Yesterday was the first time I got gas since I've been back in the States. Our 2003 Jetta was pretty much empty, so it cost $53.
Fifty-three dollars! To fill the Jetta!
Gas here in Maine is $4.09 per gallon, and my little car needed 13 of them.
(For those of you overseas, a gallon is 0.833 of an imperial gallon or 3.785 liters, and a dollar is slightly less than a Mexican Peso or the Ruble immediately following the Soviet collapse).
Dang, I swear when I got the car it was only $20 to fill it.
But that was five whole years ago, I guess, which apparently was a key five years in the energy sector ...
were married in August of 2006. Liz has
lived in Dubai since 2003 and Josh
since, well, August of 2006.
After careful consultation with experts
(i.e. the people at The Newlywed Game)
it was determined that a "newlywed" is
anyone who has been married for
fewer than two years. Therefore the
name still applies in this, Year Two of
"Newlywed in Dubai".
