Fred Is Dead.

I’ll be honest, I almost forgot yesterday was Groundhog Day. Waiting in anticipation to find out what a groundhog has to say about how much more winter we’re gonna get isn’t a top priority.

10 Million Barrels of Oil

Gas prices are going up again. It kinda sucks to have to pay so much to fill up my Escalade, but I feel really bad for the average Joe whose discretionary income is already getting gobbled up by inflation. Why is it going up? OPEC decided to cut production. And on top of that, our
