No blame-game here.  Gas would have just crossed $2/gallon if the dollar 
had any real value.  But I imagine that's a great topic for a different

To bring it back...just ask the YVs and PYs and others what THEY think 
of the dollar...they seemed to love our cheap dollars and were the only 
people I saw buying "big-ticket items" consistently @ Dayton.
