GAS PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS
I have a compact car that gets pretty decent gas mileage. Not that it matters when gas is $2.65 a per gallon. I remember when I could fill my tank up for $8. Now its $25+. Yikes! It's really starting to break the bank! My pal and coworker DanniiMarie is even preparing to move so that she can be closer to work, therefore saving a bindle on gas. Maybe I should get a horse. LOL
Two Teens Ride Horses to School in Utah
Frustrated by rising gas prices, two high school teens got fed up and decided to saddle up.
Mellissa Evans and Chapa Stevenson made their 30-mile roundtrip trek to school last week on their horses, Nighthawk and Wink.The seniors live in Rush Valley, a town of about 500 people 45 miles southwest of Salt Lake City.
"When you have a car that gets 10 miles per gallon, you have to do something," Evans said.
The trusty steeds spent their days in a stall inside the high school's animal laboratory.
On Thursday school officials stepped in, telling the girls that horses on school grounds were against the rules.
"I guess we'll have to go back to carpooling," Evans said.
Evans' mother, Karren, is disappointed her daughter can't ride her horse to school anymore.
"It took hours for her to get to school," she said. "But hay is much cheaper than gas."

To answer your question...Im currently in Ohio, but I was born and lived in Detroit and surrounding areas up until my senior year in H.S.
Horses are probably more expensive to upkeep than your car.

RYC: I was aware that Adaptation was based on The Orchid Thief, but I wanted to read the book before I watched the movie.
I'm actually thinking about riding my bike to work after the temperature drops a little bit more.
