Good. Grief. I worked as a receptionist for a Lloydโ€™s Register of Shipping office for barely a year. That was 25 years ago, and I STILL know more about shipping than they do. My god. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

Not blame, so much, but as an explanation of what he missed out on and how it affected him psychologically.

In the last 24 hours, Iran has:

- Struck three ships trying to cross the Strait of Hormuz, disabling a Thai cargo ship
- Blown up a large oil storage facility in Oman
- Struck two oil tankers at harbor in Iraq, setting both ablaze.
- Blown up oil storage tanks next to Bahrainโ€™s main airport

If they approach it like the Dudes for Kamala did, if they do the work on themselves and with others, bless them. But talk about an inauspicious beginning! ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

No, itโ€™s just egg, but poured thinly into a smallish square pan. Then itโ€™s rolled and either sliced or has fillings like a regular omelette. As far as I remember, I havenโ€™t looked it up since mentioning them earlier!

Every single oil executive in the entire world must be having the same slow, horrible realization that led Rex Tillerson to eventually snap and call Trump a "fucking moron".

Folks in Maine and Alaska: please call Collins and Murkowski to oppose the confirmation of Casey Means for Surgeon General. They are apparently still on the fence and MAHA is pushing them hard to vote in favor.

I've spent more time than most reading the survivor reports from WWII merchant ships sunk by enemy action and the ones from the tankers are some of the most harrowing things you can read. There aren't many though, compared to the number of tankers sunk, because a lot didn't have any survivors.
