I'm an Oil Tycoon!! You probably don't know this but I'm an Oil Tycoon. I'm right there with T. Boone Pickens, John D. Rockefeller, J. Paul Getty, and H.L. Hunt. I guess I'm going to have to start calling myself D. Mack Oates. I actually own part of an Oil well. Yep Exxon depends on me. Remember when Gas was $4 and then all of a sudden it came back down to $1.25? That was me. I told them to get my oil well wide open... Really, my part of the Oil well that I own doesn... Read More

This week 5-10-16 Obvious? I was watching Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull  last week. It's pretty good. The chase scene is great, although I didn't really buy the kid swinging through the trees with the monkeys any more than Crouching Tiger.. I now have a new fear of ants, especially really big ants (it you haven't seen the movie, the ants are the Yuk scene). I probably won't kick any more fire ant hills any time soon. The thing I like about Indiana Jones and ... Read More
