What is in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

I can't believe that this name was not already taken. Does anyone know Atlasta? This is not a typo. It is a condensation of At-last-a . . . (you fill in the end.) Everyone wishes for something - Anything - to come along. I am personally wishing for my dream job to come back, like a phoenix from the ashes.
What would be the modern equivalent of a phoenix rising from the ashes? Perhaps, $1.00 for a gallon of gasoline?
Which leads me to ask, why are gas prices going down now? Why, why, why? Is it because of the election? Why did they skyrocket in the first place?
