Oil Fields Gushing in the U.S.

From the WSJ.com

"The surge is big reversal from just a few years ago. U.S. production of oil and other liquids peaked at 11.3 million barrels a day in 1970 and began to decline. The decline bottomed out at 7.6 million barrels a day in 2008 as the new drilling techniques emerged."

Just need to see this translate at the pump.  $3.25 here in the Tidewater

Trash in the View

I moved our old washer and dryer to the curb yesterday when I got home.  Within two hours, the items were GONE!  This is not the first time I have left large end items on the curb for "pickup."  Hope someone will put the dryer to good use as how it has a couple of useful years remaining.  

I guess I can delete my Craigs List post of the item...

Interesting

From SWJ.com
" Insurgent operations aimed at developing networks, gathering intelligence, and distributing information is outpacing the antiquated, inflexible, and unresponsive system employed by our military."   

Considering the telephone call today I had with a young enlisted girl concerning zip files.... Houston, we might have a problem!

Happy 2012!

God bless America

Thank you for letting me sleep in peace tonight.

Retirement Pay

There has been a lot of talk recently about modifying retirement pay for the military.  Something to chew on, as the nation and the military looks at and considers military budget cuts and the ultimate downsizing of personnel also known as "force shaping".  Lets just say for example you have 8-10 years more or less of time wearing the uniform.  You have done your best, did what you were told to do and gone into harms way in order to defend America.  Now the time comes to reduce the size of the military for what ever reason.  You might get lucky and get a decent "severance" package.  Then again you might not.  As the way things sit now, your retirement that you have built up will not follow you to your new job!  Lost are many years of potential savings and worst case, in these troubling economic times, a life ring upon which you could keep you family afloat.  So if "taking care" of our service members who have answered the call and are now asked to leave, is putting them behind their "peers" with respect to financial independence in their golden years, then who ya, bring on the 20 yr only retirement program!

I really hope the family counter sues for assault and battery and takes the school to task for not "protecting" her kid while on the bus!
