In the Race
Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in
the Red Queen's Race...
So Much For Disposable Income

With the price of gas at the highest levels we’ve ever seen, and truckers especially feeling the pain at the pumps, their “profession,” if you will, has really been suffering.
Well, another profession, the “world’s oldest profession,” that is, is also feeling the pain. With the price of oil going up, their business has dropped. And truckers are a large part of that business, especially in Nevada.
Hardest hit are independent truckers, who must pay for their own fuel, said George Flint, a lobbyist for the brothel owners' association.
"So there goes your disposable income to have a little fun," Flint told the Reno Gazette-Journal.
Since January, the number of long-haul trucks based in Nevada has dropped by 4,100, or 12 percent, said Paul Eons of the Nevada Motor Transport Association.
Arnold predicted the industry would weather the slowdown."The customers won't be spending as much, but the brothels will still be there," he said.
"After food, the most important activity, at least for men, is sex. Sex is not going away."
The downturn also has affected brothels by leading to an increase in the number of women seeking jobs as legal prostitutes, [Geoffrey] Arnold, [president of Nevada Brothel Owner’s Association] added.

So what does that mean?
Will truckers start finding legitimate girlfriends? Kind of like old-time sailors…“A girlfriend in every port?”
With the price of oil going up…so is the price of plastics…so that blow-up doll is probably out.
Poor guys…
