1973, I was attending Lamar and TexGas and Shamrock would have gas wars on Lucas St. in Beaumont…….17 cents. Could fill up my friend’s VW and get change.

lol. That’s where it got its name. I’ve seen drug store signs from around the turn of the 20th century that said “Take aspirin for your headache and heroin for your cough.”

No sir. I don’t care for any polls. If you don’t know about Trump and PBS, I’m not going to tell ya. How about a war update? That’s what the thread is about. I accidentally posted a meme that should have been on the political meme thread. Wasn’t paying attention. Just had some pintos and rice with home grown tomatoes sliced on the side. I’m feeling pretty good about now. Lol

PBS poll on Trump should be unbiased. Lmao.

But not to vote….got it. What an ugly building.

Have you had a good Saturday?

All cars look real similar today. Back then you could name the car instantly. Too bad these times are gone forever.

What’s wrong with people?

Paid $3.33 @ H-E-B in Lumberton yesterday.

Some people lead such negative lives. It subtracts years from your life. My grandkids make sure to add to mine. I’ve built up a surplus. Lol

Astro won 9-3. Peña with a 2 HR game. Altuve with a 3 run shot. Cam Smith made another highlight catch.

Out of curiosity, I looked this up with a Google search. I had heard about Libya’s sweet crude but not the others. Interesting: Crude oil is classified as "sweet" if it contains very low levels of sulfur (typically below 0.5%). While several countries produce high-quality, sweet crude, the highest-ranking oils based on extreme purity and low sulfur include: Kimray +4 Malaysia: Produces Tapis crude, which is frequently ranked as the cleanest crude in the world. It boasts remarkably low sulfur levels (as low as 0.03%) and a high API gravity, making it incredibly pure. Wikipedia +2 Algeria: Produces Saharan Blend, which is world-renowned for having almost zero sulfur content. Quora +2 Nigeria: Known for Bonny Light, a premium crude prized by refineries globally for its exceptionally low sulfur and high yields of high-value petroleum products. Quora +1 Libya: The country's crudes, such as Es Sider and Sharara, are exceptionally light and sweet, making them highly sought after in European refineries. Quora +1 Key Benchmarks: If you look at the largest volume and most widely traded sweet crudes, the United States (producing West Texas Intermediate) and the North Sea (producing Brent Crude) are the most famous global benchmarks for light, sweet crude

Yes, but they are both indicators.

Then your question would have been sufficient. You made it about you. Sorry for the mix up. Lots of people on the board in 2014. Like I said, it wasn’t a crisis then. Funny how that works.

Not directed at you as there was no quote involved. I was on the board and saw no mention of this crisis. Don’t recall it being newsworthy. Gotta be a Trump thing. I questioned it when Biden was selling it off to try and reverse his inflationary gas prices. No one seemed too concerned then either.

Where was the outrage in 2014?

How many years have you been living under a rock?

The 17 year old who filmed himself urinating on Austin Metcalf’s grave and posting it on the internet, has been arrested.

Is this for real? I’m no expert on stocks. Let me know. The guy looks like Carnac the Magnificent. Lol

Here’s an opinion piece. Iran’s only threat was closing the Straits of Hormuz (minus the nuke factor). It was their ace up the sleeve. Iran thought they could partition off the strait and selectively allow ships to pass they deemed acceptable, or even board them with their Ranger boat navy. Well, Trump showed them what a total blockage would do. Iran’s attempt to hold the world hostage (which is what they excel at anyway) was countered with a total blockade. After Trump’s stranglehold has proven effective and brought them to their knees and the treaty table, it’s time to get the deal done. No matter what Trump does, it will be met with opposition and pure pessimism. Since it has been mentioned that Obama had a treaty with Iran, I guess I won’t hear the but but from Boys (z). lol. However, Obama’s treaty would have run its course. Now Trump wants an ironclad deal and we hear about not dealing with terrorists. Please list the wars that didn’t end in treaty.

I think it is a good ruling. Hunter should be ecstatic.
