Sad news today,

I heard my buddy Jim Dodds passed away this afternoon, and had instant tears. Jim, a retired surgical laser salesman, entered a VA hospital with an ulcer problem, picked up a nasty infection and things got worse. First met Jim MANY years ago when I was doing a building project at Winding River Guest Ranch, north of Grand Lake, near Trail Ridge Road. Jim had just backpacked (4 days?) from Estes Park, with his father and son, over the Divide to the highway where I saw him, in an exagerated prayer posture, as it was starting to rain. Was the beginning of a lifelong friendship, as we had many adventures together, (mostly with fishing poles), on motorcycles, in RV's and boats, and with backpacks. Gonna miss him, but have some great memories of his smiling face, positive attitude and funny stories.

The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

Yahoo…Dotard’s Big Beautiful Diesel Deal pissed off Ukraine and most of the world, plus well over half of Congress and the US, BUT, it helped his buddy Putin and his partners in Big Oil, sooo, we can see where the dick’s priorities are.

  President Donald Trump’s diesel deal with Russia would supply the global market with 4.8 million metric tons, or nearly 36 million barrels total.  This is equivalent to a little more than a single day of global demand.  The U.S. is a net diesel exporter so it does not need Russian supply, said Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates. Goldman Sachs estimated the initial Russian release would only reduce wholesale diesel prices by $1 to $2 per barrel, which is currently at approximately $200/barrel.
