Please look carefully at the prices on the gas pump sign. You will see that gas costs a dollar more per gallon here in Nantucket than it did last year at the same time. It was almost 5 dollars a gallon for hi-test this week. I don't exactly know who to blame for this but I am sure that he/she lives and works in Washington, D.C. Also in the foreground of this photo is a beat up old JEEP in a lovely "primer gray" color (Nantucket's nickname is the Grey Lady). The Oracle is still on the quest for one of these. The attraction of this particular vehicle or one like it is that when you park next to almost anyone, they are the one who worries if you will "ding" their car. Buy something new and you get the same feeling you get when you have a little money. You worry about losing it. Sure, I have a nice car as my daily driver, but wouldn't it be nice to have a "beater" that looks like this but is mechanically sound to tool around in? Especially on these 20 mile per hour roads? One of these days I am going to find her.
