The unofficial start of Summer.

Vacations.

Trips to the shore, to the lake, to the mountains. IOW, road trips!

And suppose, when the oil shock really hits around then . . . . . imagine that instead of the price of gas rising 25 to 30 cents a gallon overnight, it's 50 to 75 cents. Maybe closer to a dollar.

And like Canadians, a lot of us will re-discover the joys of backyard barbeques and small pools.

I shudder to consider the price of ground chuck rising to $15 a pound (maybe more) due to the cost of transport.
