I can't feel my fingers

Gas prices have finally made me lose feeling in my fingers, not to mention my chin and knees; and almost killed me yesterday(but that will be another post). My family has a total of 3 vehicles; a minivan (so we can fit all 3 boys comfortably), a jeep with a landrunner package http://www.jpmagazine.com/featuredvehicles/5457/, and my motorcycle. I leave the minivan at home daily so my wife can easily take the kids wherever she needs to go; so that leaves me with either the jeep or the motorcycle. With gas prices hoovering around $2.30/gal, and the jeep getting 14/mpg and the motorcycle getting 40/mpg, it's a no brainer which one to take. It was 36 degrees this morning for the commute to work, and my riding gloves were still slightly damp from getting caught in the rain the last couple days; which made for very cold fingers.

I guess none of this is that interesting, but at least it made me thaw out my fingers by typing. So, thanks for listening.

For a moment, I was confused. I read Peoria and thought Peoria, AZ and 32 degrees didn't sound right. We have motorcycle weather all year (sweet).
