The bet
22 November 2005 - 4:00pm.
On our way to St. Louis for Thanksgiving, the gas light went on on the mini-van shortly after picking up GR from work. He suggested we purchase gas in Olathe, I on the other hand wanted to wait until we got into Missouri where the gas would be cheaper.
In Olathe gas was $1.94/gallon ... cheaper than at home ... $1.99/gallon. I knew, if I waited until Missouri, I'd be able to pay $1.90.
And so the bet was on. If I paid $1.90 or less per gallon when I had to stop and fill up, than GR wouldn't purchase any more computer hardware!
How could I possibly afford to loose this bet! And Missouri didn't let me down:
