Tired……………and this little adventure here in Nevada is not even half over.

Things are not going our way at times…..just the way it goes sometimes. Working as hard as ever and dealing with it as best we can.

Blogging will suffer as a result…………………..

Navy Biofuel Contract: Another Solyndra?

This was at Conservative Daily News today………….How stupid is this cronyism? Not as stupid as one would think considering the manner in which the Sand Crawler In Chief operates.

This is an outrage to have to pay that much per gallon for any kind of fuel.

At a time when the military budget is under attack and is being cut, the Department of Agriculture and Department of the Navy announced earlier this month (December, 2011) that the Navy bought 450,000 gallons of biofuel at $26 per gallon, $16 per gallon if the biofuel is mixed with regular jet fuel. That is up to nine times the cost of regular jet fuel. In August, 2011, the Obama administration announced their intentions to spend $510 million during the next three years to buy advanced “drop-in” biofuel for military transportation. The purchase is part of the Obama administration’s “We Can’t Wait” initiative, which involves bypassing Congress when possible. And all of this comes as Obama cancels the Keystone XL oil pipeline that would facilitate access to the estimated 1.7 trillion barrels of oil in North America.

The rest is at the link.

Héloïse Goodley thought she had a dream job when she started work as a City banker. But at the age of just 27, she traded it in for four-minute meals, ironing her own bed and singing in Nepalese – all part of Army officer training at Sandhurst. Here, the first woman to write about life at the world-famous military academy reveals some of the bizarre practices she encountered there . . .

Right good looking young lady. She was fed up with what for most was a successful career in the banking industry……..Company-Family thing like the railroad in my home town. She “left the reservation.” Breaking tradition to do something greater than one’s own self.

Time warp, speeding Audi, police, New England Highway, Norfolk Island

She had this beauty up at her most excellent blog. It covers things that are common to almost everywhere folks drive anywhere.

But eventually the nong in the Audi got his just reward. So all turned out well.
