Friend in The Netherlands


-
I got an e-mail today from a good friend of mine. He lives in The Netherlands.
-
Neat guy. He is a successful businessman who drives a Harley. He was the Best Man at my third and final wedding.
-
He let me know that there in Europe gasoline is now selling for EUR 1,61 per liter. Converted to U.S. Dollars at the current exchange rate and to U.S. Gallons this comes out to $9.62/gallon.
-
Wow. And here people are about to freak out because gasoline is selling for $4.00 per gallon. And yet they continue to drive their enormous gas hogs. I used to think Americans were very smart people...I am beginning to wonder.
