Various observations

1. Politician Latta said at meeting recently that oil use is going to be a reality for the next 25 years!

COMMENT: SCARY! This guy is leading us? How will we ever change with "Ol' Head-in-the-Sand" in Washington?

2. China raises gas prices - oil prices drop.

COMMENT: Great! Glad to see 'em getting the message. Didn't help though - gas in one place I buy it went for $3.819 to $4.099 within two days.

3. Article in today's Blade: people praying and pleadin' for pump prices to plummet.

COMMENT: DESPERATION! Frankly it can't get to $5.00/gallon fast enough for me. So, I pray that pump prices push and pummel the petition to pieces. Maybe my prayer will cancel theirs. Them folks don't get it - if God does what they ask it ain't gonna be mercy - but punishment.

4. Flooding in the the Midwest Mississipi caused by global warming - several news outlets pointed this out today.

COMMENT: And that's why this prayer for relief at the pump is so silly. It isn't just about pump prices; it also about the whole world. We need to get out of the gas guzzlers and start being frugal. This well help the environment - maybe put a buffer on what we've already done. So, the higher the prices the better for us all in the end.

5. TARTA talks about going solar to run buses!

COMMENT: FAN-TAS-TIC!! Finally maybe somebody's getting the message that the public transportation has got to lose the internal combustion based people movers.
