For you who bemoan the higher price of gasoline, I recommend we each mitigate its high cost by driving less; using an electric vehicle or a plug-in hybrid; treating the speed limit as a limit, not a recommendation; and ride, walk, or use public transportation more often.

By doing so you will reduce your risk of a car crash, reduce your stress of driving, lengthen the life of your vehicle, and exercise more.

We are fighting a proxy war with Russia, which has caused our cost for gasoline and food to increase.

This is the price we pay for freedom. It is a bargain price for us, compared to our cost in money and lives to fight in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

Let's do all we can to support the Ukrainians.
