It's that the F*cking truth....you know...it almost seems like the media makes money off of the raising oil prices as well.....like they buy alot of stock...then scare the **** out of dumb people so that money grubbing people can gouge the prices.

Im not one to complain about the price of gas....but when the storms came through last time I seen ALOT of sore owners that really need to be drug out into the street by thier ***** and shot. $4 and $5/gal gas....some of them were worse than that and the storms hadn't even hit yet.

End of Rant

The drive home from Galveston at 5:30 was fun. I'm glad I wasn't driving the Camaro.

you're joking.....right?

those greedy ******* can claim anything they want, regardless of whether it's the truth or not....and they do it at any possible hint of any trouble (like a storm/hurricane) so they can artificially raise prices to line their own pockets.

then you have the media who takes what they say and blow it out of proportion even more, which makes it even worse.

i'll be happy the day they come out with affordable, high-performance vehicles that are powered by something not as finite (and dirty) as gasoline, and other ways to mass-produce electricity.....for one, those ******* wackos in the middle east will finally have almost no market for oil, which is their main export. when they no longer control how the rest of the world produces energy, they become irrelevant.

IT'S HEADED STRAIGHT FOR US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !



It's raining something CRAZY outside right now, just got upgraded to a hurricane. I'm right outside of Beaumont, on the "dirty side" of the storm. If I don't post up tomorrow, a tree fell on my house killing me instantly.

Can I have your car if this is true? I made it halfway to work this morning going from Liberty to Port Arthur and my boss called to say that Motiva was shut down. I almost hit 2 trees that jumped out in front of me on 365.

Sorry Ben, I didn't die, but my cable was knocked out all day yesterday. Power went out for about 6-8 hours.

I've got limbs/leaves galore, but nothing too bad. Hope everybody else faired that well.
