Oil crisis? What oil crisis?

I have to drive out of town to find an ATM machine for our bank when I need to make a deposit (thank you Patriot Act for making it impossible to make deposits over $100 in ATMs other than your own in O-hi-o). Nevertheless, it’s a lovely drive out of town and through the farmland.

Along the way there is this deserted gas station, surrounded by cornfields. Talk about time, and the price of gas, standing still. Further down the road is an active station …complete with digital readout…that makes it easier to keep up with the rising price of fuel. When I looked at these images side by side, I gasped.

(Note: Yeah, I cheated. I took two pictures in the same day. AND I used the Gimp to put one picture inside of another. Helllloooo….rules are made to be broken, are they not?)
