Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

Two shots to get the party started. Now a McClelland cocktail. Sloe gin, triple sec, and orange bitters. Yummy! Make a damned good Halloween cocktail. Thick and blood-red.

Had a nice half-day at work today. Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend.

I love you all…

Just like “bringing democracy to the Middle East” was the excuse for invading Iraq for the oil.

... want more oil in a period when it's cheap energy, and there is a huge movement to non fossil fuel derived energy. Even the big petroleum corps have all changed their name from mentioning oil or petroleum to being Exxon Energy, for example.

It's as stupid as his push to rebuild the coal industry.

T Boone Pickens left the oil game and heavily invested in Wind power, an area of the energy supply that is growing quickly. There are thousands of wells that were drilled in the Gulf that were capped because of a petroleum glut.

It's like TACO wants to be the oil industry equivalent of the buggy-whip king.

Just stopped at Costco on way home from the coast trip. Was expecting huge crowd they must have come all day. I breezed in with hardly anyone there and bought myself the newest IPad Pro 13 inch for Christmas.

I do most of my online stuff on my iPad and I had the 2017 model. Last six months having a hard time holding a charge and was turning off for no reason. Time for upgrade.
