Dan made a good point, Most people in Brazil don't have a car. Energy independence is easy that way.

I'm curious about consumption lately. It has to have gone down here. I know I've cut way back. I paid 4.22 for diesel yesterday costing 140 bucks to fill up. Thank God I only live five minutes from work. I hope I don't lose this job any time soon.

Hey Dan, Welcome to Texas. Have you noticed the drilling rigs around your neighborhood? There is one on the airport just past the entrance gate. There's also a new one right in the middle of downtown Ft. Worth.
Sorry to hear you're boatless. Mine is on the hard . . . still working on it. Keel issues and a leaking knot meter this time. I'll get in touch when I'm seaworthy again (soon) and show you Lake Texhoma . . . if CD doesn't first. He has a much nicer boat!
