The worst part of high gas prices

This weekend, the lake should be packed full of sun-seeking cottagers. After all, the weekend is a long weekend, book-ended by both Canada Day and Independence Day. But I've seen maybe five boats all day, and the cottages are silent - no sound of happy children splashing in the water. It is one of the less consequential results of high gas prices, or at least less noticed - but people are giving up vacations over them. If anything can be regretted, surely it is the loss of any opportunity to slow down the pace of life.
