Good post today on kids riding buses to school not in fear of the bus driver, knowing punishment followed when they got to school. I agree such disrespect and lack of fear is sad for today's youth. Cameras are no substitute. The lawyers & pansy school administration have the fear running the wrong way. Keep up the good fight.

Heating oil is partly an economic indicator, just like gasoline. When budgets are tight, people turn down the heat, decreasing demand. I also agree though, there's only a certain amount you can turn it down...

Jarheads are my favorite species.
My best friends are retired Marines.
Don't know how that happened. I was a squid. har har. One of my Marine friends
says that I'm a lower form of life. That's why
I call him a species. It's all in fun.
Thank you for your service Marine.

I like your quote. Never saw that one before. I am in the same pursuit! Semper Fi - thanks for your service. Saw you plan to do a solar installation. Hope it goes well.
