Time flies…

by DanB

It’s fast. I can’t believe how fast time passes now. Each year seems to fly by faster. June was birthday month here. Both my wife and I celebrate in June. We are exactly five days apart. So we take a week of celebrating between the two of us and our family.

I posted the previous note on the blog. That is the best place to put your comments. That way everyone can benefit. Had some interesting private emails on the gasoline ideas. You can find the previous entry here:

http://www.tnpcnewsletter.com/blog/

Moving forward what happens? I’ll post each message to the blog when I send the email. If you want to comment please do it there. The volume of email coming in here is just too great and I heavily filter my mail. I don’t want to miss your message.

TNPC receives a lot of free stuff. Books, software, etc. I want to share that with you. So here is how we will do that. At the end of the month, starting with June, I’ll take a list of everyone who posted a comment at the blog and do a random drawing. It doesn’t matter which post you comment on. I’ll see it.

So let’s get going. For the moment the hot topic is still gas prices. Most people write to tell me you should buy the same dollar amount each time rather than the same volume of gas. My answer to that is this. Buying the same volume allows you to travel the same distance regardless of the price on any given day. That is most important to me.

Your situation may be different. I live in a small town and have fewer choices to fill up from. Someone told me that some gas cards save you a certain amount on each gallon. That’s great – except – the closest Shell to me is almost ten miles. And I rarely drive past it. On the other hand I have four Valero’s within a one mile radius of my home. Go figure.

Well that is all till next time. Go post at the blog and maybe I’ll be sending you some free stuff:

Talk to you soon.

P.S. watch for a special note on 3 July. If anyone what is special about that date I’ll send you a package of TNPC DVD’s. First correct answer only!

    Time Flies, as you get older the time seems to slip by so much faster. Seems like yesterday it was cold. Congrats on your new age may you live to see many more. Boy how time flies.

    Happy anniversary... and when I checked out the first issue, I remembered that I was one of the originals: the -E combo is where I got my obsession for keyboard shortcuts. If I can't find shortcuts to do things, the program typically goes in the trash can. Once upon a time, I had ALL Windows kb shorcuts printed out, a 50+ page document! :-O

    So, keep up the good work...
  • Happy Birthday TNPC You don't look a day over nine.

  • Lots of interesting comments. Lots of interesting tidbits on what happened on 3 July through history.

    The answer I was alluding to was TNPC and this website being ten years old. In Internet years that is a very long time.

    I appreciate all the information about gas prices. Here in North Central Texas the prices for regular unleaded are running about $3.87.

    It is a challenge but I don't see the prices changing anytime soon.

    Thank you all for sharing.

    Over here in the UK the price of diesel is now £1.34 a litre. At 3.78 litres to your US gallon, that's around ten dollars a gallon.It concentrates the mind, so suddenly people are carsharing, using public transport, and thinking twice before turning the key in the ignition. And the roads are quieter. It's an ill wind...

    Half a tank full of oil for the central heating just cost a smidgen over £800. I'm going to be buying a woodburner with a backboiler and learning how to use a chainsaw. One way to
    adapt to the post peak oil economy.
  • Been a fan for a long time. I even got a copy of the CD I believe you put on manual you should have gotten with your PC. I got some useful stuff from it but really it was about supporting TNPC.

    Congrats on the Anniversary!

    Congratulations Dan,
    I've enjoyed reading your comments and tips for about half that time. Carry on the good work and happy returns,
    Regards,

    Congrats to Dan on the decade and congrats to Doug for being the first to remember it!

    Regarding the name change to TNPC, I'm reminded of a BBS that likewise had to change its name to initials. (I'll let you think about what SAGN might have stood for.)

    Congratulations on 10 years. But no-one so far seemed to mention that the 3rd July is the anniversary of the last day of British rule ;-)

    1775 George Washington takes control of the Continental army.

    There's a whole bunch of other things special about July 3, but that is the first to come to mind.

    July 3 ???

    I think it is your daughter's birthday. I think I recall you asking us to send Bday wishes a few years ago, could be mistaken though.

    Happy Anniversary\Birthday to a wonderful, informative newsletter.

    Gas prices are high, and I fill up every other day - long commute. So I requested permission to work from home - approved. Unfortunately I live out where there is no cable service, so I ordered wireless broadband from the ONLY company to service this area. Good news - they will allow a federal employee (me) unlimited data service for the same price. Bad news - our office Counsel threatened to fire me if I accepted the deal.

    Go figure! I hope we can elect smarter people than this next time around!

    Happy birthdays again to you all!
  • Hi Dan,
    Congratulations on your anniversary. If I had saved all the issues I might would have a copy.

    With regard to the gas situation, there are small things we can do that will help a little but the truth is that if we can't affect it a considerable amount, it may be best to just take it in stride and adjust to it.

    Perhaps our point of view can help with that adjustment. For example, my point of view is:
    Gas is cheaper than horse feed!
    Let me explain, I have under the hood of my car the power of more than a hundred horses. Can you imagine how much it would cost to feed a hundred horses? Horses eat everyday whether you stay at home or not whereas my car just sits there if I stay at home!

    By the way, the most important thing about July 3rd is that if you're reading this - you're still above ground and God has blessed you with another day.

    Happy Anniversery,
    This is one of the newsletters I have been reading for years. You have helped me many times with the tips and ideas posted here. I'm glad you are back, and hope that offline doesn't overwhelm you too much and will be here another 10 years and more.

    I work for a large Japanese auto manufacturer and gas prices have certainly hit our industry hard. What you don't see behind the scenes is the impact the price of oil is having on other products, such as plastic, steel, rubber, etc. The barrel price for oil has a profound ripple effect, and we are just starting to see that impact now. Prices will continue to rise for sometime on just about every product we buy. Unfortunately, the ripples will continue for some time. My company is a very "green" company and we are looking at alternative fuels, but they are years down the road before any mass production will take place. Ethanol is not the answer either. It takes more energy to produce a gallon of ethanol than what it yields in energy in an internal combustion engine. Ethanol is pretty much a political solution rather than a practical one. Biomass renewable fuel is what we are promoting for the future energy source. It is extremely cheap to produce, yields massive energy sources, and is very clean to burn. We could essentially supply the entire country's energy supply in an area one tenth the size of New Mexico. No pollution, no drilling, just clean and inexpensive energy. So the question arises, why aren't we doing this now. Some biomass facilities are currently running, but more on an experimenatl basis. You will have to ask your goverment leaders why we are not accelerating this energy source. I belive politics and big business interests have essentially halted biomass production. One of these days, however, and in the not too distant future, we will have to face the music, and it won't be pleasant. Either we begin to develop this technology quickly, or we will wither away watching world oil sources go to foreign countries. Finally, biomass could easily make us energy independent in just a few years. So, if you consider the politics and money involved, you might understand why we aren't already doing it.

    On a brighter note, we do see gas prices leveling off after the summer. We don't see gas going to five dollars a gallon unless there is another disruption to the world supply through mother nature or from an escalated conflict in an oil producing country. It remains to be seen whether diesel prices will decline to lower tranportation costs, thus hopefully lowering the costs of goods and services. Not much any of us can do other than tell your congressman to either support biomass fuel production or lift the ban on drilling and refining or, ideally, both.

    I would say that July 3 is TNPC's anniversary.

    As far as gas prices go.. hot topic... just heard that our school district has decided that if you live 10 miles or more out of city limits the buses will no longer pick you up...someone has to bring you in and pick you up. So much for free education. What happens when parents work..or well, you can imagine not all parents are ideal.
    Will our grandchildren have to start walking to school like our parents told us about when they were kids? getting kind of scary on the price of gas...

    Have been subscribing for awhile now and still get excited when I see I have an email from you...can't wait to open it to see what new lies in store for me to find out about or to explore.

    thanks

    Hi Dan,
    A belated Happy Birthday to you and your wife. My birthday and my husband's are exactly one month apart.... hummm- would love to celebrate for a month. haha
    I'd say July 3rd is TNPC's anniversary.
  • Leishalynn
    I ride my bike to work every other day, and consolidate errands that require driving. My Buick gets 26 miles to the gallon. I make sure & change the oil regularly & keep the tires at the right pressure, too. I'm saving us a bundle on gas: I fill my tank about three times per month.
  • Jeff Cornelius
    The more gas in the tank, the less open surface for water to condense on, especially at night if it's humid. I try to never leave a car overnight with less than a half tank.
  • shahulhameed
    Hi there try to fill your gas at the nearest gas station to save some gas plan your trip and route well ahead of your journey to avoid unessasory round
    trips and pray God to lower the international gas orice

    Well, I guess the anniversary will be the right answer. Congratulations on that. I had several other nominations though. It's the date the largest asteroid ever to pass close to the earth will do so, the date that Dow, Jones released it's first stock average, and the anniversary of the deaths of the last pair of Great Auks. Speaking of George (Washington, that is) While it is the anniversary of his taking command it is also the anniverary of his surrender of Fort Necessity to the French in 1754. Guess it wasn't that much of a necessity. Of course, on July 3, Idaho became a state and the US Navy destroyed a Spanish fleet in Santiago, Cuba. None of those were in the same year, though, Oh, well. I tried.

    Here in California the price of gas is usually highest in the summer. It doesn't usually go down until after Labor Day. My sister lives in Penn. and she says gas prices for her usually go up around the time she is shopping for her winter supply. Interesting, how where you live changes when the prices go up or down. Recently though, they only have been going up. I'm not sure if we will see the usual pattern of prices falling after Labor Day. Like the weather here... going up and up.

    Guess it was TNPC Anniversary. It was also the date on which G. Washington took up command of the Continental Army in 1775.

    Time readly does fly when we look at how fast the cost of oil has gone up in the past year. The price of gas has been bad enough, but wait until winter when those who heat thier homes with oil gets hit big. I currently pay on an average payment plan and my cost have already jumped from $165 to $270 per month and I live in Seattle. I'm afraid of what its going to cost me to fill my oil tank for this coming winter. You can image just hard its going to be for those who live in the colder reigons of the states. All I can say is good luck and hope for a major roll back in the cost of oil soon.

    Dan,
    My guess would be that July 3rd is the 10th anniversary of your newsletter.
    On gas prices, Wal-Mart stores in this area have Murphy USA gas stations on the outer perimeter of thier parking lots. If you use a Wal-Mart gift card at the pump you can save up to 7 cents off per gallon.
