I know that we will feel the impact of this hurricane for quite awhile. Even though we weren't directly involved with it. We depend on the gulf coast for quite a bit (which I didn't really think about until today). For example our gas prices are already up to 2.99 a gallon. How insane is that. That will really put a dent in the budget! It was just $2.54 yesterday. Its supposed to keep rising. I have heard it will be $4 a gallon soon. Also I'm sure that prices of everyday things will increase as well. This just makes things hard in an already struggling economy. I just have to remind myself that God is in control and that at least I wasn't in the hurricane. At least I still have my possessions and at least I still have a car to put that $2.99 a gallon gas into.
I remember when gas was only $.99 a gallon when I first got my car. Now gas is three times that expensive. How crazy is that. and just think we were complaining when gas hit $1.50 and then $2.00, now we would love for it to be back down to those prices. I can't imagine what it will be like when things get even more expensive. And they are talking about gas shortages now too... crazy, just crazy.

I even remember when i was complaining that $1.50 was high. Now that's just a dream.
Here in Canada we are at $1.35 a liter which is almost over $4.00 a "gallon". !! In Ottawa Ontario it is $1.65 a liter.
We are lucky to have a car. There are many people in other countries that can't even afford a car. What we take for granted is sad. Katrina devestated many lives. Thousands of jobs were lost, houses destroyed, and families broken apart. I could have never fathomed what has definitely affected the country not just today but the future as well. We are just a small little ant in the overall picture of the world and yet things like Katrina have a big impact on our minescule life. Isn't that ironic.
