You need only open the morning paper to understand the importance and urgency of America's reduced reliance on foreign oil. The instability of the Middle East makes our 58% dependence on foreign oil a dangerous and costly proposition.

'That Old Black Magic', 58% of the 20 million barrels a day that we use comes from hostile nations or countries that despise American Foreign policy. It%u2019s an excellent reason to become less dependent on foreign oil, not to mention the satisfaction you'd be getting from telling the Middle East you'll buy Oil at .01 cent per gallon or shove it.

Carol is going away

Tomorrow morning I have to get up and drive Carol to the airport. She's going away until Monday. As well as attending a Soroptimist conference she'll get to see her grandma and aunt Susan. I'll be living off cereal, fast food and KD (if I feel like cooking). Where is she going?


Saskatoon? Yikes. The flatlands.

Here's a little tune from one of our favourite movies, Slapshot, to help put Carol in the right frame of mind to make the trip. It's Sonny James with "A Little Bit South of Saskatoon":


Speaking of Slaphot here's one of my favourite shots and a quote from the flick:


I'm listening to the f%$king song!
