Now for today's entry..........

Hearing from Mort over in the UK that gas has broken $11 a gallon, does that scare any of us over here? If we drill for oil and get more out of Alaska, against the protests of the environmentalists will it lower our prices? If you can convince some radicals that Off Shore drilling around the US is not the end of the world, and we find more, will it lower the prices?

Those questions haunt my mind. Have the Oil companies gotten so used to the receipts from the higher prices they just cannot live with dropping it? I think that may be true. Now I begin to think more against my beliefs, but what about regulations on Oil? It has been effective in a lot of sectors. Why not find the oil, then let the Oil Companies and the Auto manufactures know there will be a cap of $50 a barrel and a top reg gas/diesel of $2.20 per gallon. For a period of eight years. At the end of 8 years it goes up to $75 with gas no higher than $2.80.

In the mean time we could slow down the traffic. I gained 1 to 2 mpg by lowering my speed back to 55mph. I think the truckers are slowing down a bit. They were consistently traveling at 78 - 85mph, now I think they are down to about 72-75, they just can’t seem to get down to the speed limit. LOL

I have heard no political types promise to take care of it, at least I haven’t read it on the net, which is the only place I would see it since I don’t listen to the radio nor watch TV.

Aren’t our major issues Immigration and oil? Oh yeah, and that little war over there. At least one has said HE thinks it can be won. Who knows?

Can you win a war against the Arabs? Israel hasn’t been able to settle anything since 1948. They have won many wars, but have given back the territory at our and UN insistence, and still they live under constant threats and attacks.

If we elect Obama will he be a friend to Israel? I would hope so. The more I think about it, I still like McCain. I read a lot of good about the man while he was a POW.

Enough,
