Hell- O Infodell! ... better late than never on the "round- up" delay thing, eh? Stiil goin through these, but I liked the talk of optimism on Frum Forum as far as Canada's oil. I wish at time's that the market's worked different when it come's to these type resource's, and I get bored listening to American politician's talk about what their gonna do about our "dependence" on foreign oil ... which is about as much nonsense talk as them constantly talking about how their gonna create job's ... heh, heh, heh, heh, heh ... they cant do nothing about either, especially the way they act, even if they could. I dont like much to do with any countries that are like those religious ran countries. I focused year's ago on the cost's of petrol and how it would rise at what rate's ... to this day ... I was very accurate on it ... and I see it as getting tighter looking at the math, with the rise of demand that we will see especially in Asia over the next couple decade's, plus the fact that the terrorist's are going to really try to disrupt much.
Thanx for the link's, I will go back to the Bonobo's since their kin, and I have some fajita steak's cooking on the grill out back :)
i need to stop stopping here, because i always wind up spending hours clicking on links and reading stuff i would have otherwise missed.
RC: Heh.....Well, they've speeded up the process, anyway.
Nonnie: It's too late.....the addiction has you in its grip.....:-)
