Oil going down, octane ratios vs regular are through the roof and most likely going to get worse the more cars/trucks that use 91/93 octane. Rant OVER!

After reading GG's post, think we should take up a collection and get him one of these shirts

Free Shirt! Free Shirt! Aww Dang!!! Just lost the 'GRUMPY OLD MAN' title!

I don't understand how they can raise prices so quickly upon the news that something affecting supply is going to happen in a few days from the current day. They've already paid for the gas in their supply tanks at the current prices. Not the new prices. That's just price gouging.

This is a term I've heard used by the oil and gas people,

Up like a rocket and down like a feather.

Trump is looking after the economy first, war is good for the economy. Trouble is that Rocket Man has dangerous toys, not the imaginary WMDs of Sadam Hussein we were lied to about. What's a nuclear missile or two to worry about anyway, the US has them by the hundreds.
Nuclear fallout? Everyone could do with two heads anyway.

With the highly accurate guidance technology NK exhibits (not) you could find Canada saying WTF and Kimmy saying "my bad".. Just food for thought.

If the choice is between universal healthcare and a barrage of misinformation the vote goes to the person who ends up promising tax cuts for the top 10%.
This happened somewhere,
Timbuktu I think.

here we do have pretty good free healthcare but Housing in our major cities are some the most expensive in the world now. Young family and want a first home ? move to the country yeah its cheap but there is no work there!
Oz is the second largest exporter of natural gas on the planet, soon will be the biggest.
but they forgot about the ozzies! , there hasnt been enough to supply the local market and prices are going Up here. the Government (has had to step in and argue with AGL et al to increase local natural gas supplies. now they are going to Import some ! Crazy
The Port of Darwin has been leased to the chinese, True !

Worthless? Your President threatens nuclear war and you think that is OK?
Another war you cannot win. Good for business though.

It seems that all of Canada winters in Florida so guess they worry about getting here if 3-no closes the borders.

Why can't Rocket man and Trumpet man sit down together and discuss their hair styles, both could do with a new stylist.
I call him Trumpet man because he is always blowing his own.

The Republican party has always been a strong supporter of the military and, as such, needs a war to demonstrate the value.

Winning a war is not necessary judging by the record, WWII being the last win.
Eisenhower warned about the arms industry calling the shots.

Trump said "we will totally destroy NK " at his UN speech.

the world took that as meaning "we will nuke em "

and nukes would be the only way to do that really
