An article in the Chilcothe (OH) Gazette has a humorous look at the future if gas prices keep rising. One of their predictions is more homeschooling. Here is a selection:
An old story is told that on a very hot day a hound was chasing a rabbit and both were walking. With gas prices rising, a "Bronco" was seen racing a "Mustang" and both doing 50 mph.HowardThe high gas prices have brought about some changes in our behaviors, and I have tried to chronicle some of those in the following lines....
Law enforcement agencies report spotting drivers as young as 22 driving 55 mph....
The high cost of gasoline for lawn mowers has spurred an increase in urban sheep and goat farming....
Families are actually starting to ride together instead of taking individual automobiles. Bumper stickers stating "Quality time behind the wheel is the real deal" are appearing everywhere....
The high gas prices are actually helping to fight the "obesity epidemic" in America, more people are walking and biking.... Children will need to walk to school or be home-schooled. A radical lifestyle change is in the offing for most.
Our research shows no Amish people have complained about oil prices.
