Yes, "polar Bear", you got that one right. Today CNN announced that if you want to sell your hummer, the price has now actually fallen $1000 below the blue book price. As for our Russian friend's proverb: perhaps our gas reality should be "the blind leading the blind": the politicians looked the other way & so they were blind, and the people that elected them closed their eyes & so they too were blind. .....pjwky
