Toast.... I have goats and trust me, not a good alternative to mowing grass. They are good if you want your shrubs eliminated and if you have a weed problem. They prefer shrubs and weeds to grass....

Goats wouldn't work for me then. I have a lot of elaborate landscaping. Somebody eats my prized blue hosta and they're going to end up on the grill!

exactly... I USED to have rose bushes.... My goats are confined, but every once in a while, they do get out, and look out landscaping! They are really handy though, if you have a woodsy area that needs to be tamed. They love poison ivy!

here is someting you may have overlook'd...watch the news sometime, when they mention the national average, and louisville, is below this, the prices jump greatly.
Even better then that, I am a truck driver, the price of diesel is higher then gas. How is that when it takes less to produce?
The price hike is blamed on the supply and demand, or cost of production.
How about this Louisville, quit advertising the national average, and take a look at how many fuel drop sites there are along the Ohio river. Come on mayor step in here, and check out the price gouging going on here in your city.

I dont understand the differences in the prices either. In the small community we were in in Ca. this past week the highest of gas prices I saw was 3.79 a gallon.The community we were in has a population of around 8,000.The gas in Lou.was as high,almost but not quiet.I come back home and the gas isnt as high here. Why?

Why wont the Gov.do something about the prices? Can they put a stop to the gas companys rising prices?
