Off to Oregon to catch the USC-Oregon football game BUT as I'm stuck in a pause zone before I leave, note energy prices are down big time and the commodity markets are far better weather forecasters than the TV talking heads: crude better than $2, unleaded down twelve cents, and even better is heating oil. Port Arthur is the place threatened now, but a category Three won't hurt anything there. We may have dodged an atomic bomb, and what the fuck do you do about hurricanes anyway? If some genius can figure a way to cool several hundred miles of sea water he might make a few bucks (whoopsie; sexual harassment: if some PERSON can figure a way......).
