Back in February, my family decided to sell our house. Given that we wanted to make the most money (d’uh!), we followed our realtor’s advice and emptied our closets as much as possible. End result? Sixty boxes of my books went into storage until we could move to a new town. We arrived at our new home (yay!!!) and the moving trucks pulled up. Out rolled box after box after box of books. And more boxes. And even more! At the end of the day, my original sixty had at least doubled, probably more. NYT Saints Mukesh Ambani: W… T… F?!
I hate hagiographies. I can barely take it if the ‘saint’ in question is dead, murdered for his idealistic beliefs and mourned by the many whose lives were transformed by his or her example. (Even in this instance, I’m with Orwell on his reflections on Gandhi). My blood pressure rises to a whole different level, however, if the individual individual is very much alive, well-padded, entirely self-serving and quite possibly the richest man in the world.

General Motors is showing its troop (true) colors through its recently modified military discount program. GM, long a supporter of America’s military, says that the updated discount program applies to the purchase of most any new car or truck from Chevrolet, Saturn, Pontiac, Buick, Saab, Cadillac, GMC or Hummer. According to Bob Lutz, GM Vice Chairman who served in the Marines himself, “The GM Military Discount Program” is an online web site that enables active and reserve members of the U.S. SCTB Trek- Wednesday Afternoon Playday
At the conclusion of the morning service we had another hearty breakfast and saddled our mounts for the Playday/Rodeo. After a short ride over the hill we assembled at the portable arena that the capable crew had disced up and surrounded with portable panels. Complete with roping chute and cattle pens the days activities consisted of a seemingly endless list of activities that nearly all the members participated in. Since I’m always eager to take part, I entered nearly every class available. iPendejos at Pemex
I just saw what is perhaps the stupidest thing I’ve read in a long time. Apparently, many people from SoCal are driving to Tijuana to fill up their vehicles because of the cheaper, Mexican-government-subsidized Pemex (Petróleos Mexicanos) gasoline. Since the government controls the gasoline, Mexicans do not feel the week-to-week spikes driven by speculators and doomsayers (that also conveniently coincide with things like Memorial Day weekend) and enjoy a more stable price that’s based on longerBill O'Reilly
I have been trading emails back in forth with Woody, who is starting to rival my friend Farrell (International Man of Mystery) in miles traveled and places seen. We've been talking about oil speculation. Woody's family business is home heating oil. If you're not in the Northeast, this may surprise you. We have trucks that drive around and deliver fuel oil (exactly the same as automobile diesel) to big basement tanks. Woody's family has kept us warm for nearly twenty years. I told him about a Kansas

Every time I come home to visit, there are certain unspoken "must do's" in the family. We "must do" this, we "must do" that. No one actually ever says it must be done, because it already assumed.

US airlines and the car industry are bellwethers for the changes being wrought by the surging cost of oil. How both industries, long considered to be ‘old’, ‘mature’ and unwanted groups of polluting carbon emitters, handle their restructuring, will tell us a lot about how the rest of the world economy can handle the move to high energy costs (and food costs) and rising carbon costs. A lot more pain will have to be endured, just as in the 1970s and 1980s, but the speed of the change in both inAnother Raw Nerve, Too

SurvivalBlog.com As you may know Mountain House has curtailed all shipment of their freeze dried foods in cans throughout the U.S. until at least October of this year. I repeat, the supply from Mountain House has been cut and I fully believe that when their food in #10 cans is available again, it will be at much higher prices. Yup. There was a good reason for the sense of urgency I felt over the last several months. Here is a letter posted on Survivalblog.com illustrating how and why preparednThe Carbon Taxers vs Supply and Demand
I am old enough to remember the seventies oil shocks and the street wisdoms which were being accepted as gospel truth. “There are tanker ships lined up right now, ten deep as far as the eye could see, behind some island, just waiting for the price to go higher.” I overheard this bit of beer wisdom and the snorts of agreement from other barflies, and it typified the sort of comment that passed for public knowledge.
