"Wait until all the Christmas temps are laid off and gasoline begins going up in January. The mood is foul now, next month is going to be really sour."

I have a prediction to make based on the expected soar of the price of gasoline.

Mom and pop local corner stores will return because people won't be able to afford to drive to their store of choice..as we do now. Bicycles and associated suppliers will be a good investment.
Walking and maybe even hitchiking will become common again

I've got my eye on one of those three wheeled bicycles.

I picked up a three-speed at a garage sale for 25 bucks, and got new tubes for the tires on sale...I figured if things really get bad, I can haul water or food and use it as a mini-pickup...now, for a decent trailer...
