[Az-Geocaching] A last word on Prices

[EvilFISH]

I am waiting for the OIL/ Automobile companies that bought off all the 
inventors of the 100mpg carburetors to announce that they developed a car 
that goes 100mpg and makes our other vehicle obsolete thus having to buy a 
new vehicle in which the Government collects more fees.

until then caching on the way that is not really out of the way I still need 
exercise
