I'm afraid to go to another game with Brian and Steve. Everything was going well, we're 1 and 0 and then they show up for the next two games. :P

but we just found out jason is going to be there.  He's raking in the money from these ads.

You guys wait at the Uni and I'll drive from Cali, swing on by Ill (yell Hawkeyes rule) continue driving past and than finish up my 48 HR drive into Cincy.

 

I'll be flying into Louisville, but Boz and I will be there. Hell it should be kind of fun. I'll even make sure to grow out some sort of facial hair, just cause seeing you smile is priceless :P

Can't wait for the $3 gas. It makes my commute way more expensive.

The problem is...in a few years, the oil market may very well leave him no choice.

 

Demand for oil is not going to stop increasing.  India, China and the U.S. all keep wanting more, and there simply isn't any more cheap oil to be found.  Not in the amounts needed.

 

The one good piece of news I think we can give him is that oil is unlikely to really go past about $125-$150 or so a barrel even when Saudi Arabia really starts to decline, simply because there are other oil sources that become profitable at roughly that level; heavier oils that cost more and take more energy to refine, oil/tar sands, etc.  (Of course, the problem with all of those is that they're vastly more polluting that normal Light Sweet Crude, so even though that should put a max on the price, it's still time to really find something to replace the stuff.)

 

I personally have been very surprised that the U.S. economy has managed to survive the first step upwards, from $20-$30 a barrel oil to $60-$70 a barrel.  I'm not sure it can do that again.

I think we are getting closer to the time when Hybrid technology becomes a financial savings to consumers. By that I mean where the price of buying a hybrid car becomes worth it in terms of the gas you save.

 

As that happens (and they continue to make strides and they continue to release new hybrid cars) we will see people still driving the same all while using vastly more efficient cars, meaning we may actually be able to decrease our demand on Petro.

 

But thats just the short-mid range solution as we still need to figure out a new source, but its not going to be super easy as once it is developed and considered safe and backed by all the auto manufacters and everyone else, you then need to completely overhaul gas stations.

 

Its going to be a process I'm sure.

You feel bad...I fly into Chicago and end up seeing teams swept. I know one thing though...I did my job, 3-0 in the playoffs last year and well over .500 in the regular season.

 

I say if we see a losing series, they get stuck with the bill :P

Unless you know anything about his personal situation you should zip it.

I threw out an option to him. If it's not a viable option for him he can tell me himself...unless you're his wife and I didn't know.
