Is It Hot Enough For Ya?

Dang Ol' Dog Days, Man!

Why is it so hot? Well, because it's summertime, mostly. Snow in South Africa, 100 degrees here. Although it's the first time in nine years it has snowed in South Africa, this time of year the temperature always reaches triple digits here in Missouri. Many people offer up many reasons for the heat, but to me the most logical explanation is global warming. So let's see what we can do to correct the problem and all buy a Hummer. Now that's a happy ending.


Light Sweet Crude

It sounds like the perfect date, but that's actually what keeps us mobile and on the highways. Last night I was watching Neal Cavuto on one of those cable news channels and saw a very interesting segment discussing immense oil reserves here in America. If tapped and tended, one million barrels of light, sweet crude oil could be produced on a daily basis. One expert's opinion was an end result of $40 per barrel - half the current price. Of course the timetable they slapped on this ambitious project was 20 years. Shit, by then we'll all either be dead or driving cars that are powered by Mr. Fusion, like on Back To The Future. Any way you slice it, I'm sure it'll be too little, too late.

Have you watched any reality TV lately? Of course you have - it's impossible to avoid it. Some thoughts on that coming next time.

Until then...
