Events

The other night, I had two interesting experiences.

First off, I heard a report on NPR that oil speculators were losing money because the price of oil had not gone up as much as they wanted, and now they were running out of capacity for the oil they'd contracted -- and so were having to dump it on the market, with the result that they lost money and the price went down some more. I laughed out loud.

And second, waiting at a light, I saw a police car go back with NOT IN SERVICE taped across its light bar. Odd car, though -- it was all white, with a big gold star on the door, and a county name below it. Only thing was, the name of the county was Hazzard. Huh?
