In The Money

    I did it. The gas light didn’t even come on. 352 miles on a single tank of gas. The really incredible part of that story is that I had not filled up since Friday afternoon and in the meantime took a trip to Louisville and sat in traffic for a while on the way. Not incredible? Fine, be that way. The good feelings went away when I stopped to fill up after work and dropped over 70 cussing bucks to make my dinosaur go. I am pretty sure I have never spent more than 60 on gas at one stop before. This sounds like a lot of money for fuel, but allow me to shed some perspective on the subject. 352 miles for 70 dollars comes out to just over twenty cents a mile (it was actually $71.36 you mathemagicians), which is not all that much. Most companies pay something like 50 cents a mile to employees who get reimbursed for travel. Still, I can’t wait to get back into my little car. I will gladly pay an extra 20 cents a gallon to get ten extra MPG.

      Today we have made history. This humble electronic publication has reached one thousand page views. However, I think this stat might need an asterisk because my brother Joe tells me he has been on here like twenty times today. Not that I care. Even more noteworthy is the amount of revenue that has been generated today. My AdSense account has earned more in this one day than in all of the previous days combined. I don’t know what you are all doing, but it is fantastic. If every day was like today I would be making around a hundred bucks a week. If this keeps up, I will take all of my followers out to dinner. (this should get that number up) Maybe I will smoke my cigar today since I have finally earned more than it is worth. On top of all that, I got a mailing from Google today giving me information on how to activate my payment. So they don’t hate me yet!
