Trying Out New Duds

Lets clear up the confusion. You are still you and I’m still me. This is the same old blog, just trying on a different outfit. Seems to me to be close to the right size, not too long in the legs. Maybe it makes my ass look a little t0o fat, but then, have you seen my ass lately? Speaking of fat, it fits pretty good around the middle.

It still requires some work: The picture in the header will be one ours, we need to widen some of the columns, stuff like that. It still has the comments section that I love so much. I don’t always reply but I do read all your comments.

In fact here’s your chance. Look it all over, let me know what you think. Let’s not forget that “comments section”. Fire away, tell me what you think. What do you like? What’s not working?

 

Will This Come True?

I borrowed a bit of this article from RVBusiness.com. They are quoting the folks from Statistical Surveys Inc., a group that does a lot of work for the RV industry, and talking about the future price of oil.

Have a read:

It is interesting that once again the oil traders are looking for a run up in oil prices, Statistical Surveys Inc. General Manager Tom Walworth tells RVBUSINESS.com and RVBusiness magazine, for which the Grand Rapids, Mich,-based executive generates periodic policy statements.

We are currently looking at a very similar pace as we had in late 2007 and all of 2008. If you remember the stories in 2008, the world was running out of oil. The developing nations were using supply that they had not used in the past and this, we were told, justified the run up in fuel prices.

Yet, if you take a look at the accompanying graph, we started December of 2007 at a national average price of $3.11 per gallon. In January we went to $3.15 per gallon and by July we were at $4.16. Curiously, in December of 2010 the price for a gallon of gas was $3.11 per gallon. The January 2011 price was $3.14 per gallon.

Does this look familiar?
