ChatGbt is not good for everything. It didn't far well to last month's question !
Based on the information provided, it is unclear why Wendy's trip back to Dallas would have cost her over $7000.00. It's possible that there were unexpected expenses during the trip, such as car repairs or lodging costs, but without more information it's difficult to say for sure. It's also worth noting that the cost of living and travel expenses can vary greatly depending on individual circumstances and location, so it's possible that the cost for Wendy's trip back to Dallas was unusually high for her specific situation.

Blast from the past! Ode to Santa and the Economy
Ah it's Christmas time again, and it wouldn't be Christmas without a story about Santa. Enjoy.
Ode to Santa and the Economy by Gonzo 2010
There goes Santa, running for his sleigh;
He’s gotta run fast to get away.
You see, the economy has struck the North Pole as well;
The elves are on strike, and his wife is giving him hell.
Now when Santa makes his appearance at the department stores;
It’s not just for all those little kids anymore.
He’s not going to make a whole lot of stops;
‘Cause look out Santa… here comes the cops.
So off he goes, in the middle of the night;
To find those gifts, and get out of sight.
There’s Santa, flying far into the night;
Carrying all those gifts, on his yearly flight.
With all the alarms blaring and the police giving chase;
Santa will be long gone, without leaving a trace.
He has to be quick to have it done by Christmas Eve;
So many gifts and so many places to be…
The presents will all be wrapped, and the tags will be off;
That’s because Old Santa is very careful, not to get caught.
So look for your present on Christmas day;
(Just keep hush-hush if it’s from Santa, OK.)
Now, I don’t know if Old Saint Nick will stop at your house, or not;
But if he does … … … … … THOSE GIFTS ARE HOT ! !
PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL TO ALL
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! ! !
