Yeah... we whine alot here in the states... and prices are still lower than in most of the world, but with the profits of the big oil companies going north of 128 BILLION dollars, 40 billion for Exxon alone... dont'cha think something is off track? Lee Raymond (alias Fat Bastard) got a $400 million payoff when he retired from Exxon last year. Does that seem right? Today ought to be fun... all the heads of the big 3 are going before congress to explain how this can happen. I can't wait for that spin...

Took a motorcycle riders course this weekend. I recommend it very highly. I'm not new to bikes, but I learned a lot. Besides that, I don't have to take the DMV exam and I get a break on my insurance.

Oh ya,

I passed.

She's not into a long bike trip. I only have a solo seat anyway, since I don't want the responcibility of another person ridin' with me, so the bike trip is out. She's not real happy about the bike, but I told her it was only for goin' to and from work. She just worries 'bout me, bless her heart. But hey, we all have to compromise from time to time, eh? We kinda trade off from time to time.

She says, "not funny", cause she knows how bad I want to make the trip, and she really wants to go too, but we just can't get away to do it just yet.

When it comes together, you'll be the third person to know.
