A couple of quickies...
(CNN) -- At a time when gas prices are at an all-time high, Americans have curtailed their driving at a historic rate.
The Department of Transportation said figures from March show the steepest decrease in driving ever recorded.
Compared with March a year earlier, Americans drove an estimated 4.3 percent less -- that's 11 billion fewer miles, the DOT's Federal Highway Administration said Monday, calling it "the sharpest yearly drop for any month in FHWA history." Records have been kept since 1942.

So, apparently, $4/gallon is the price break where we start seriously examining our auto dependencies. There had to be some breaking point. Hopefully, this will mark the beginning of wiser days.
Also, wanted to let you know that my own lovely bride (of 23 years, as of this week) preached the Earth Day sermon this year at Jeff St and excerpts from the sermon can be found here.
