Replying to: dieselone (Sep 30, 2008 4:39 pm) Gas mileage is generally a little less than in other states where 10 percent ethanol isn't required. I have trouble breaking through the 30 barrier. I've done it twice with a lot of extra care. Usually if I'm being nice to my car I can pull down 27-29.xx, which I guess I'm happy with considering the car is a little bit larger than my first Accord and gets about 6 miles more per gallon. |

Replying to: gagrice (Sep 30, 2008 6:17 am) " We still have money market accounts with approximately $4 trillion sitting in them. Those people are ready to buy companies like WM that are solid. It will be interesting to see how much of Monday's sell-off is regained by Friday. Up over 200 this morning. I guess Wall street has gotten used to the fact that the American public does not want to bail them out of their stupidity. " Actually speed is the key, pass and revise at your leisure. They would have taken write off over three years or five no bail out. Or a loan of 770b , pay over 15 years into the SS system. This was Paulsens plan, but best not to give the foreign holders of US debt worried lest we have to hold that debt ourselves. Oops, fnma/fre nationalization begins to make sense as to why. Subtitled what would you say to the foreign central banks if they were holding 2.85 trillion of securities Wall St had declared, insolvent ? Bernanke : Would Monday be all right? The don't bail out the B*stards sounds so right, but the 770b was selected by the treasury dept as an arbitrarily big number. Sadly the opponents of bailout, Lord I hate that word, know what is at stake from a global perspective but choose to grandstand for their own aggrandizement and want to sell the Main St. vs Wall St story. Of the 700b, only a fragment will go bad, yesterday the world markets took 1.3 trillion of market value away., they added some back today. Nancy Pelosi gained stature and the Democratic candidate went up a few points in the polls . When the 401-k statements come out later this month, voters will vote with their wallets. Sadly this is missing to those who have grasped on a theme but to the detriment of their own party. A phenomenon I call their Newt Gingrich moment. Back to oil prices, think lower, humming Roger Miller's King of the Road.

I don't care if gas is $10 a gallon it is still less risky than mass transit. If you are not killed by a train driver text messaging you get exposed to TB. I will take the comfort of my vehicle unless I have to fly somewhere. Even that is getting riskier. Officials fear Greyhound passengers exposed to TB Updated Thu. Oct. 2 2008 6:30 PM ET ctvtoronto.ca Ontario health officials are searching for 27 people who may have been exposed to tuberculosis while travelling on a Greyhound bus from Toronto to Windsor on Aug. 31. There's a "moderate risk" they contracted the disease, public health officials said Thursday. A passenger on the bus was sick with the tuberculosis and may have spread it by coughing while in close proximity to the other bus passengers. The passenger, identified only as a woman with a Canadian passport, was detained by American custom officials at the border between Windsor and Detroit.

Replying to: gagrice (Oct 02, 2008 3:28 pm) Greyhounds are not considered "Mass transit." And you are just as likely to catch TB on an elevator or in a grocery store or from shaking hands with someone as you are on a bus. Good Lord Gary.......................
