My Mom called me at 7:30 this morning to tell me that someone broke their
leg in a cave in New Braunfels. I looked it up and it's there in the
Herald Zeitung. He is 50 years old. He slid 50 feet then fell 25. That's
all the information their giving out. This happened yesterday, who is it?

They are supposed to be spreading all over LA, too, due to a glitch loophole in
a billboard ordnance there.

They've even gotten to rural southwestern Oregon. We've got a truck driving
around Medford with those screens on each side. I almost ran up over a curb the
first time it pulled up beside me in traffic.
There's also an auto dealership in town that has a double sided flat screen
billboard.
Jenny's politics (and that of her sister) fit right in with the caving

recommend.
It has 17 LED's, fits in the palm of your hand, and has a dimming

It only cost $ 9.99 plus tax.
I tested it last night, and it is has good quality construction and

That is pretty awesome. Didn't you get the memo, to make the newspapers more
money, we're to make sure all cave incidences include at least one broken bone?
Seriously though do we know this person? It says they where looking for caves
so I would think so.

The description of the cave is not very good in the report, and is probably
exaggerated and wrong in some parts due to the usual translation issues from
non-cavers to the media. Little Gem and Little Gem Annex have long been
known in that area, but don't have entrances that would require a tripod
On the DSC channel on cable, there is a program titled How Stuff Works

There's always the chance, Matt, that some caver somewhere knows him.
But there is sometimes a concept that all cavers know each other.

I saw gas for $ 1.34 yesterday.
I heard one analyst say that if the economy continues at its current pace, that
gas could fall to 99 cents per gallon in some places.
Where I live, there does not appear to be a decrease in demand for gas, so to
me the huge price drop of $ 2.50 per gallon seems
Oil companies are complaining because oil has dropped from $140. a barrel to
below $50. Some years back when oil was at or below $20. they said if only the
price could get back to $30. Although, I have read where the oil

I am so envious. We here in Medford are running between $1.73 (Costco, of
course) to $1.89 (Chevron, et al.) Of course, this time last year it was
running over $4.00/gal. I don't ever expect to see $.99 in this state again.

It all depends. A classic Texas gusher takes nothing to get a lot.
Deepwater fields cost a certain amount to initiate, produce and transport,
if the current price doesn't offset that, they lose, while the Texas gusher
may still make money. Canadian Oil Sands require even more to upgrade the

I was generally referring to imported oil prices and profit margins as that is

My thinking is that part of the reason it's so low now is because so many
financial hedge funds were betting that it would stay high. Part of the
reason it's cheap now is because it was paid forward when it was so
unreasonably high. When we were all getting ripped off where did all that
money
Athabasca oil sands have a lifting cost of $22/bbl. So it's economic at a
