Its been a while since did any work there. Salt creek was a cool lease. I did some work up in Post on a brown lease last and it was Fn cold! Bought a cow from a dude off of 208 just north of fm 1611. I liked doing work in Snyder, just dont like the American hotel or the spanish inn beer policy. Oh well there Olies at least. Hopefully be back there next month after these Chevron wells. BigSprings has strange folk.

These are the only ways I have consistently seen over the last 15 years to make someone almost 100% secure. Not wealthy always, but almost always secure. This also requires financial prudence and discipline to work.

True or not, I really enjoy reading that. I've been in IT for Exxon since '95 and things appear stable for us. With that said, I really hope you guys don't get a "Looking for Work" message from me later this week.. Never know I guess..
