Let be buddy's

merry christmas, tr. i haven't seen any postings from you for quite some time. i'm glad to see your sharing your opinions at least til last august. i always enjoyed reading them

Thanks for the supportive comment. I have to admit there are times when I feel gouged and have to remind myself that the market works if you let it. Unfortunately too many people just scream they are being gouged and never stop to analyze what is going on or the ramifications of tight price controls (I recall attempts to control gasoline prices in 1979 and the resultant long gas lines as gasoline became short in supply due to the suppliers holding back).

Fwiw, Some of the Bakken is on Federal Land. Not trying to start anything political, just stating facts. National Defense, Dept of Interior, etc.

Don't go putting down the wrong price for Lake St SA because you work at Moto-Mart!!!

happy thanksgiving!

Hey, our '04 Prius tops out at 170 kph thats 105 mph and I can surprise most of my friends by the way it handles and performs. It's gone 190,000 kilometers thats 118,000 miles without any mech issues and I'm six two and can cross my legs comfortably in the back seat with the front seats in their max rear position. Bet I can't in your Golf. We've averaged 51 mpg of mostly highway driving.

Hello from Mexico!

Your comments are relevant and I usually sift through the dribble to read them.
