It's great when the refineries are making money but they just lost $2/gal in the last few months. I would ask for a year extension on the contract to see how things settle out. Just can't ask for more money when the company is making less, even when it's not the refinery or the workers fault. So hooray Obama got gas prices down and look where we are now. Middle class jobs in jeopardy.
Right. Except it was the slowing world economy and the rising US dollar that broke the (ridiculous) $100/brl oil price.

I know. Our dollar is worth more but my bills haven't changed. Seems like I should get a discount since my dollar is worth more now. Lol.
It's a double edge sword. Everybody is happy to see gas prices go down except for the oil workers.

Right - and those are some of the few high wage jobs these last few years. The majority of the 'jobs' added the last several months have been restaurant and hospitality which are at the lower end of the scale.

You can get a discount at Canada again. lol Darren was complaining about the 12% difference now if he buys a tuner from Steeda. I remember in the 70's when I first went there the discount was like 25%.

It is burning. But it's in the basement and I'm upstairs in the living room. Surprisingly enough he's actually home and is in the living room down there watching a movie, so he is taking care of it

Sale of Deflategate chocolate football nets $20K for charity

.


Bill Sarris, the owner of Sarris Candy, poses behind the "deflated" chocolate football called a "Bradie" Ball at Sarris Candy store in in Canonsburg, Pa., on Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2015. Sarris says they came up with the idea to poke fun at the controversy surrounding under-inflated footballs on Tuesday. The display item isn't for sale. (AP Photo/Keith Srakocic)

Yep. Our local refinery which is under the Motiva flag,(tied in with Shell and Texaco), is restructuring. They make Gas and diesel now but will switch soon to strictly diesel and the one in Texas shough produce strictly gasoline. So that's a lot of jobs in the gas units that will be shutting down. Hopefully they expand more diesel units so nobody loses their jobs. As much as enjoy paying under $2/gal, I would prefer to see it go back up for the sake of my local economy. Probably over half of my town households work for a local refinery or chemical plant. So it's a big deal directly in my community.

I usually change the channel when he comes on. He can shove his left wing gun and other opinions up his St. Louis asz. Missouri has always been a mixed up State but he personifies it. .!..

So disappointed!! That is totally on Pete Carroll. After a great gutsy call at the end of the 1st half, he throws a pass in the last few seconds within a few yards of the goal line??? To screw up the winning touchdown??

How many times has he called a diversion and given it either to BeastMode or let Russell Wilson run in. Jeebus that was stoopid.

A) Kearse save was awesome!!
B) Paul Allen dumbfounded! lol
C) This is for both Pete and cheater Brady!

So he has swooped down twice this morning but I haven't been able to get a pic yet. Plus he heads a few trees beyond the clearing so I can hardly see him eat. Whereas the owl sat at the edge of the clearing watching for the next snack.
Finally got one pic, but I was hoping to get one of him flying off with his beautiful red tail fanned.
