  1. Hi, Laurel! I was glad to see the name of Mike Brown among those you know are safe. The only person i really know from Gold Coast is Mike. Should you happen to speak with him, would you tell him Chuck and Sue have been concerned about him. Those of us here in Texas are praying for all those folks who are victims of Katrina. Keep us posted on what we can do to help. Thank you and all of you, be safe. Chuck
  2. _____________________________________ Wasn't CREEPS shown in a 'fake' ad in Skydiving Magazine, awhile back? edit to add: Seems like the seller has a little nerve, using a rip-off name of Pier Ltd. Chuck
  3. You hit the nail on the head! It puts a 'face' to the problem, situation, disease. It helps us to get a grasp of things. The broadness and indescrimination of disasters or disease. As sad as it all is right now, the South's gonna do it again! Chuck
  4. It's better than; " I got a six-pack... get in the truck!" Chuck
  5. Thanks, for that! It all looks pretty ugly right now. I forgot for a moment... these are, as you said, 'futures' prices. Thanks, again! Chuck
  6. Thank you Mr Gecko. Competition drives capitalism, not pricing exploits due to disaster. You feel that driving the price up on gas will help our economy? We are going to take a MASSIVE hit this year due to this storm....the effect will take years to recover from. Other items will go up in price by default (more fuel costs = higher grocery costs). Therefore people STOP spending money elsewhere. My entire group of friends have canceled our road trip to N Wisconsin due to fuel costs. Greed is not good. This will have a ripple effect. And yes Andy, I have taken my basic economic courses. ______________________________________ I agree with you! People are out of their homes and businesses, people have died, you've got thieves running the streets with AK-47's looting and what do the oil co's do? Jump on the bandwagon and raise gas prices. You bet there's going to be a trickle-down effect. They are not businessmen, they are opportunists! It's wrong! Chuck
  7. How well, I remember that! Here in West Texas, it was un-believable back in the late '70s early '80s. We had drillin' rigs in here from Alberta and B.C. Cold weather rigs... drillin' oil in the 'desert. The economy was great. Not just Texas... Oklahoma, New Nexico, Colorado, Wyoming and etc. It was nothing, to go to a oilfield related business and be treated to BBQ and free caps. Folks who had 5 - 6 acres, were turning them into mobile home parks. When the 'bust' hit, there were folks left high and dry. You mention 'Boom' now, you'd better run for cover... nobody wants the bust. Yup, Reagan done good! Right! I still want to know, after all the 'hub-bub' over the Alaska pipeline... how much of that oil do WE see? Chuck
  8. Exactly! I don't care if he's on t.v. or not. I watched him 1-time for about 15-minutes and haven't watched him since. Chuck
  9. Hell, I think, it's just the oil companies getting greedy, once again. I guess, what I don't understand is, we have all these oil fields in Texas, Oklahoma and other states, the Alaska pipeline... where does all that oil go? I'm thinking... the Orient? I'd better cool it or this will get (shudder) moved to SC. Chuck
  10. That's funny... but true! I like that squirrel. Chuck
  11. No milk maids but MANY a sheared sheep. __________________________________ Ithink, you've been in Iraq too long! Chuck
  12. masterrig: we call that an Arkansas credit card back home! _________________________________ Yup! Your big competition is, the Oklahoma credit card. Chuck
  13. __________________________________ You like the photos of the naked milkmaids... Right? Chuck
  14. Wow! A girl, who likes guns and knives! That, is too cool! Chuck
  15. I heard a comedian say he could help folks save gas! For $40.00, you get a length of rubber hose and a list of names and addresses of 40 people who just filled-up! Chuck
  16. You can make a lot more money by telling people what they want to hear. You'd go broke telling them the truth. _______________________________________ You're absolutely correct and I agree with you. I just can't handle that guy. He reminds me of a snake oil salesman. Chuck
  17. _____________________________________ Excuse me but, that is absolute bull-shit! D'ya think, there just might be a little capitalizing going on? Sheesh. that just sorry! Chuck
  18. I think, the oil companies, have us by the 'valves'! They know, we love our cars and pick-ups and we need their product. Check-out how much the gas station owner makes per gallon... it ain't much. Chuck
  19. $3.00 per gallon here in West Texas. Chuck
  20. ______________________________________ I've got it! Do I win? Huh? Huh? Chuck
  21. _______________________________________ Nothin' wrong with that! Maybe, he wanted a woman with 'experience'! Chuck Pheeew! *Wiping sweat off forehead* I was waiting for that to come! Thx a lot Now I feel mucho better ______________________________________ I'm glad we got that out of the way. The only thin I guess, I ever held against her was, she never seemed to lose that 'look' she had in that Woody Allen movie she did. Other than that, she's not a bad looking woman. Chuck
