Joel, to drive from Houston to Austin for a Texan is a short boring drive. Depending on 290 or I10 the drive is slow or fast. If you have to go by TAM on 15 it is sickening. Red Raider here. To really drive in Texas is to drive in Texas is to go from Boamont to El Paso or El Derado to Corpus. Stay out of Chuckies and enjoy the small places. I like I10 to 71 except for the last few miles in to Austin. There are a few places to eat in Austin, but Round Rock is better. Austin is bad.

Granted, JB is corrupt and worthless, but let us be assured, this is their plan. Just waiting for other shoe to drop.

Joel just like the place you were born got spoiled by to many .. yep you guessed it 'PEOPLE' all your historical chatter about past abundance versus self inflicted scarcity does not disguise the fact the in your lifetime the worlds population has doubled almost twice .. so what was once a pleasant planet that could accommodate say 4 billion souls now has to accommodate 8 billion and guess what by exporting all the real 'work' to shithole countries for massive PROFITS the land of milk and honey has turned into sour shithole country just like there biggest pimp accused others of .. funny what you accuse others of is often your own problem .. so easy fix is just get rid of 4 billion people and surely everything will go back to the good ole days right ..? yep and little Peter Putin will make Russia great again .. rebuild the empire like Trumpet man made great again birds of a feather eh .. next time your in the southern hemisphere avail yourself of a ticket to Mawson Station and check out the real data from the coal/cold face! the planetary systems tht have evolved over millennia are out of kilter .. sadly the arrogant pric*s driving their big gas guzzlers across America (now Oz as well) don't give a fuc* since their minds have a solo channel <me first> and fuc* anyone who comes after me right .. I'll bet you don't say that to your little daughter. eh? so please understand if the old grandpa sitting on the white horse doesn't push the US out of the fossil age and into the next chapter of sustainable energy production then it won't matter mate because we'll be swimming in plastic/petrol/oil/drugs/etc and you'll be eating more mirco plastic's

in them BIG Argentina steaks you love .. the best way to get out of a shi*hole is to STOP digging and stop whinging and find solutions because if we don't get them RDB reactors going quickly then your children will never travel the world as you just have .. the problem require smart sharp minds that can invent improvise and build better everything rather than just find some poor pric* in an undeveloped country and pay them nothing to make it so some foreign asshol* can pay out a bigger dividend .. the problem is simple find ways to control human GREED or discover alternatives that lift humans above the level of turds .. ok enough said safe journey home ..

Tired old myth. "Medicines"/pseudoscience frauds are poisons, plastic bottles contain estrogen, you can run a car on just about anything from water to waste and there are better lubricants that can maintain viscosity at far higher temps for far less cost. Far more harm done by Rockefeller with and for oil than any good that resulted, the present "medical" genocide for instance. Try questioning your assumed knowledge, you might learn something.

I knew if I waited long enough, you would eventually find my neck of the woods, Joel. Apparently you finally found me today in Houston. Problem is, I don't know "where" in Houston. Considering I started following you somewhere in the southeast many years ago, Joel, that must have made it back sometime in the '90s. I think you were kind enough to explain the details of curing breast cancer at that time (saved my wife at that time but lost her later to another type of cancer just over 4 years ago). Recently, I found my way from the Hill Country (NW of Austin) to the "Old Folk's Home" in Houston.

I've enjoyed your travel-tales along the trails as you've trailed along with Bill and the others, too. I don't think our paths crossed at any of the Canada Conventions, however. Now it looks like this will be my last chance to say "Hi" because it is the end of my trail.

Thanks for all your insight and wit along that portion of the trails we have been able to share.

Cheers, Tex (Jon)

Independence is counterproductive to the plans of overreaching government. As the Southern Democrats once noted slaves simply don't understand how good they have it.

The Dems are creating a Covid style lock down directed towards oil and NG production. When Americans can no longer afford what made us fat, lazy and uninterested in reigning government the backlash will be violent and detrimental to the peace in America.

This time around the backlash will be world wide. So much for world peace resulting from the new world order and their plan for One World Government.

For once I agree with PG V; One of the worst things that happened to the common man in Mexico was jobs created from American corporations moving across the boarder. The common Mexican lived better and with less strive in their families when they were poor. Mom and Pop no longer have a moment to themselves neither has the time to raise their children as they once did. Their families have suffered as children become distant, and for what really?

There will be NO climate emergency declaration in the foreseeable future, none, will not happen. The dollar is not a weapon, that’s an outrageous statement. The global economy cannot and will not fall because of some chicken feed war in Russia. The stock market will not crash because someone printed out a few extra dollars. Let’s face reality, everything is pretty fine and dandy, nothing to fret about. Today and tomorrow are the same as yesterday, continue living the dream and Make America Great Again! The Golden Trumpet will sound again and we will rise from the ashes that Joe blows. 😂

If it were not for oil, we would be riding horses, electricity would be eccentric to the rich, nothing that exists would exist.

Oil is a product of millions of years of climate change orchestrated by a universal intelligence. Rockefeller called it a gift from God. Rockefeller transformed the world with a genius for numbers and a belief he had a duty to develop oil for mankind. He brought kerosene from $6. to $.06 a gallon, gave free stoves and lanterns as far as Mongolia.

Rockefeller was a genius for picking talent. He incentivize with stock and when someone wanted to sell, he bought; many years after he retired, Ford put everyone behind the wheel of an automobile; he became the richest man ever. His philanthropic endeavors, which almost gave him a nervous breakdown, still benefit mankind. He found it easy to give money but very difficult to make gifts productive. We can see that with the US government that has spent trillion and has nothing to show for it.

For all his efforts, Rockefeller was vilified by muckrakers who were believed by idiots.
