When diesel was $5 a gallon
Dec 7^th, 2008, 12:11pm

I have a friend in Florida that I manage to see a couple of times a year.

We happened to be in her part of the country when diesel was close to $5 a gallon.

We also had a fuel stop while we were there.

We had been discussing the gas prices and she was telling us how thankful she was to have a fuel efficient car.

I invited her to watch the fuel pump while I put in over 130 gallons into our Freightliner. You can imagine the look on her face when she saw the total dollar amount.

And then I explained to her that we weren't even on empty.

This is an episode from the Three Kingdoms. Zhou Yu ordered Zhuge Liang to manufacture 100，000 arrows within ten days. Zhuge said，

“Give me three days.”]replica sunglasses He also signed a pledge placing himself liable for punishment should he fail to complete the order. Zhou Yu ridiculed that Zhuge Liang was looking for self-destruction. On the one hand， Zhou Yu ordered his troops not to provide Zhuge Liang with materials to make the arrows. He also sent Lu Su to spy on him to find out what was going on. In fact， Zhuge Liang had already realized that this was a plot by room， Zhuge said to Lu Su， “Save me please.” He asked Lu Su to lend him 20boats， each lined with straw-made scarecrows and manned by 30 soldiers. He requested that Lu Su not tell Zhou Yu what was happening.

In the small hours of the third day， Zhuge Liang invited Lu Su for a boat ride. The 20 boats were tied together with strong ropes. Zhuge's fleet sailed toward the camp of Cao Cao. A thick mist had spread over the surface of the river. People could hardly see each other on the river. When Zhuge's fleet got close to the Cao camp before dawn， Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to shout and beat drums to fake an attack. Zhuge and Lu Su simply sat inside one of the boats and drank wines to enjoy themselves.
