Workers abusing and producing methamphetamines have left oil producers struggling to fill jobs, causing delays in projects and helping to push up the price of oil and petrol in the US and around the world.
The problem was a big challenge in states such as Texas, Colorado, Louisiana and Oklahoma, industry insiders said. Ron Walsmith, director of oil & gas training at the Mid-Continent Oil & Gas Training Center, said entire rig crews of up to 12 people had been fired for making or using the drug. Methamphetamine labs have even been found on rigs, which is dangerous because both are highly explosive.

When I was young my mom’s husband, my step-dad, had a lot of interesting books on his bookshelf. One that I read at a young age, and would like to read again was Hells Angels. This book was written by the late HST who died 02/20/2005 of suicide.
Ironically enough, my favorite beer Flying Dog Ales cofounder was good friends with HST. This would be a good “theme” for something I would like to build.
Wow this is stupid easy!

That was an apple script to insert what you are playing in Itunes into the text that you are currently typing. I am used to using a Linux application to handle this sort of correspondence with my blog.

It has never been this easy before. All I had to do is download the software. First time I open the application the prompt asks where my blog is hosted. I enter in the url for this site. The program recognizes that I am currently using blogger. All I need to do from that point forward is add to my little weblog, that is it.
EPIC! My friends EPIC!
