Other weekend hours, driving in Miami is frightening.

dontuknowOH Champion Author Ohio Posts:2,099 Points:36,585 Joined:Aug 2009	Message Posted: May 10, 2013 8:09:36 AM Ignore dontuknowOH Report Abuse Weekends; I really thing if gas prices were to drop to near $3.00 or less, during Spring, Summer, Fall there would be more boating activity, recreation parks would flourish, tourism, and off-road events home or otherwise would come alive. People strive to have fun on weekends after their routine work weeks, some more than others, that takes affordable fuel, driving is only a method but can be part of the enjoyment. Simple.... If you can't have some fun on any day or days people shut down on buying Dumb Things.... Big Dumb Things.... mainly! Social patterns are different for the majority/Weather effects...

dontuknowOH Champion Author Ohio Posts:2,099 Points:36,585 Joined:Aug 2009	Message Posted: Apr 4, 2013 11:45:27 AM Ignore dontuknowOH Report Abuse A decade ago We traveled at least into a larger city, each time checking other shopping areas and taking in a meal at much different restaurants, sometimes a movie or event. Decent gas prices enabled us to do that, not always on a weekend but any nice day. Light shopping, sometimes finding a good deal larger items, etc. That's past, 10 years of higher fuel prices curtailed the driving along with higher food prices and everything else, except small calculators...? Ink pens, g.. hose washers, etc.
