Oil and gas prices rapidly rise as Iran war shows no signs of letting up
The price of oil surged higher and showed no signs of halting its rapid climb a week after the U.S. and Israel launched major attacks on Iran that escalated into a war in the Middle East.
Worried about the cost of gas?
Go test drive and buy an EV in your preferred auto category today (it's Saturday you probably have the time).
And, over the normal life of the EV car it will cost you less than the same size gas guzzler, even at the "old" price of gas.

Well, shit.
Sometimes I feel like we're in the scene in Apollo 13 where someone asks Gene Kransz as the crew are returning to Earth, Are we gonna tell them about the heat shield?
GK: Can we do anything about it?
Other: No.
GK: Then they don't need to know.
It's going to be a bumpy ride.

The first time a fishkill happened: OMG that's horrific!
Now: just par for the climate disaster course.
It can get in line behind the SA algal bloom, Vic fires, Qld floods and the all country heatwave.

I teach. We should be adventurous with our vocabulary.
We are not βpost-Covidβ. βDuring COVIDβ is boring & misleading.

It's always that way.
But Greens still perform the same action as the libs.
I was a member of the Greens once. It saddens me.

Buying a new car?
Consider an EV. Some are very reasonably priced.
Sick of paying for gas & electricity?
Consider solar panels, a battery, convert heating/cooking to electric. You'll save heaps.
Enjoy breathing, eating?
Grow a garden, plant a tree.

Post pandemic????
Which pandemic are you talking about?
Swine flu? Hong Kong flu?
Because THE COVID PANDEMIC IS STILL ONGOING.
It has not been declared over.
People are still dying & getting long covid, other diseases are being triggered by covid, there is no sterilising vaccine.
Educate yourself!

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"
TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from OkjΓΆkull to Ok (jΓΆkull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: βDue to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.β
