    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I don't know about other parts of the country but you west Texas folks that makes that pilgrimage every year or more may find out that the trip might cost you DOUBLE than the years before. My friend just left Alpine and told me gas prices was at over $3.00 per and at $3.29 south ( Big Bend region ). And lodging was up at a 20 % increase. WOW ! Will you still go ? Probably time for the buddy system of going.........LOL !
 
Wow, that's insane. Course people won't make these gas prices any more than a "glitch" on their complaint column. Seems they complain for like a day, then go on. That's why it keeps going up higher and higher, then it goes down a tad, but is still higher than it should be. Then next round it continues. The oil industry knows that's how they can continue to make record profits. Here in my city it's about $2.77. We haven't yet hit the spring rising cost yet.
Okay enough rant. I'll still hit my "local" areas, primarily the sierras, and southern CA deserts. A real road trip may be out of the question.
 
Gas prices around Tallahassee, FL have been around $3.05 for premium grade. I can see where the days of long road cruising trips all night long might get kind of expensive to do. When it costs $50 to fill up your gas tank, it becomes a major concern about whether that sort of activity is worth what it costs.
