Makes as much sense as the articles posted by basskisser, Harry, etc.
Sounds like his opinion written with humor.


Don't get too excited Bill. In oil rich Alberta, there has always been a
sizable minority of wanna-be Americans.
aka 'Little Houston'. When the oil money dries up, they'll be the first
ones back to the trough.

Speaking of Canada, how's the hockey season going?

All the teams still undefeated?

And after we use up your oil, we will still have ours.

I've always wondered about this - maybe in the end, when all is said
and done, they won't have any and we'll have it all. :)

Actually, I was reading something a while back about evidence that the
oil fields, as such, are slowly recovering or cooking somehow, new
oil.

I'll have to look that one up again.

Later,

Tom

We'll still have the 'tar sands'. More expensive to recover oil from...but
at least we won't freeze in the dark.

Drumheller? I'm guessing the dinos didn't get caught and die, they
committed suicide!)

Naw...I've only flown over or passed through Alberta on the train on my way
to BC.

This thread reminds me of my Grandfather. When he was 97 and still working at a
McDonalds of all places his girlfriend was 72. They would not let him drive any
more so she was his wheels.

He missed 100 by a couple of months. Been gone since 95. I still think of all
the history of this country he lived through. Wow. I am 55 now and would love
to be like he was at that age but I would be happy to hit 75 and still be
active.

Who knows? Time will tell.

126 days to go..

Working at 97?? maybe that's what keeps you going...a job and a much
younger woman.
I gotta get me both.
