Peak Oil in USA Today plus other links.

USA Today eases us into the Peak Oil age.

Meanwhile, the OIL Emergency prophet of rage James Kunstler pipes up once again about the impending doom of Natural Gas in his November 28 blog update. I was once happy, thinking that natural gas was the only utility that my landlord pays for when I realized that, uh, NO- I pay for it. Rats!!!

There are folks who think we will power through the end oil the oil fiesta namely, The Peak Oil Optimist. Yesterday I thought I found something interesting on this site, but today I can't seem to find it.

This guy has alot to say about China a big player in World Oil and the future of world oil. I also like his mention of growing potatos to survive on post oil.

And finally, After the Peak is a website with really big words.

Gawd, I hate blogs that just link, link, link with no substance. Oh well I am going to take a nap.

I keep thinking I want to be a writer, but as I sit at the computer tonite I realize that I will never get anything done on a computer with a fast internet connection. I smacked into a bit of a written work road block and then started surfing the net. Christmas is coming to be upon us. I found my self revisiting socially and politically decrepid christmas carols on the web.

I also enjoyed this christmas light show-->Christmas light extravaganza

New evidence debunks use of aluminum-foil hats.

Research done at MIT shows that foil hats will not protect your brain from rouge radio sigals. Read all about it at- The scary truth about tin hats.

No one is safe anymore.

Anyone interested? Come out and let me be your personal guide to these places. I really need to see the John Day Nat'l Monument and painted hills for myself now.

Getaway.

Getaway from the internet. Get away from potato chips.
Getaway from the books. Get away from apathy

Here is a poem I wrote about my ex-boss, the amazing herder of Bigorn sheep-

Thundering down the river
Gleamin’ in the Idaho sun
She gots a jetboat tan
And an antennae
Knows how to use them

Queen of the valley
Shepard of the wild
She knows a lot more
Than jokers at the vet school
And not afraid to dis them

She’s a bighorn sheep
Woman
Sheep
Woman

There is a harlequin duck at her flank
And a domestic sheep underfoot
The journalist all want to know her
But they just kant keep up

She is up and down the canyon
Before the the break of dawn
She is flying in circles for sheep
And puking on the lawn

Chorus

So buy your lottery ticket
And shoot de big sheep down
The jet boat bus is watching, don’t fret if
The population is down
We can bring in more from Canada
To disease and poison forever

When a PhD crashes into a family at 5,000 parsecs.

Hi, I'm back. Today's favorite things are kids with no concussions, head on beer, and wet yellow glazed cakes. Why, these are the things in my dreams and in the dream world when no one is around and I am staring at my computer screen or beer fermentor.

This weekend my wife will be writing her thesis, so I will either take the kids to the grocery store or the Grand Coulee dam or I will plug them into tv's while i look for a date on myspace.com. Extemely hairy man with beer gut seeks long walks into manzanita infested groves with rednecks poaching cedar timber leering at you. Need sleep again.

More to come...
