Earthquake and $4 Tolls?!?!

Oh man...today was a bad day for me in terms of local news.

There was an earthquake in South Bay today. It was only 3.7, but this one is a lot closer to me than others that have happened recently. I didn't feel this one, but seems they've been pretty frequent in this area lately.

And then this news about our toll rates going up another dollar. Golden Gate Bridge will remain at $5, but all other bridges are going up to $4 starting next January.

And gas prices that easily reach $2.50 or more per gallon!

*sigh*

Everytime I hear stuff like this I ask myself, "WHY am I living in the bay area again?"

But still...

I do love it here, but I guess everything comes with it's pros and cons.
