And the perpetual jokes regarding the industry when people are losing everything really are growing old.


Sorry about your truck. At least your wife still has those fake titties.

Relax dude. It's the internet.

I can't imagine the agony that they're going through having to wait to find out if they've lost everything


My friends will be OK. They both have worked full time since 1990 up there. They used their money to buy homes, trailers, duplexes and condos. They are loaded and insured.

The ones I feel for are the ones like the guy that lost his camper trailer. He said everything he had worked for in the last two years was gone. Canadians are sending money from coast to coast. They will work hard and re-build. It still sucks for those who lost everything.

Somebody said this was ignorant. But it isn't. Look at the price per barrel today versus two days ago.

Time to get the F-250 out of hock and put my truck nuts back on!




Oil closed down for the week.

Fire still out of control. Could double in size by tomorrow. LINK

I also read somewhere it could possibly get into the oil sands. Don't know if that's rumor or fact.

Fire is now the size of Hong Kong, more than 700 square miles. Smoke can be seen all the way in Florida.

It's expected to reach Saskatchewan.

Unbelievable

It's been in the nineties. The average high for early May is 59.

Wow I havn't seen any plans to try and control this thing either. Guess they're waiting on mother nature to do its own work.

They have already come out and said they have no means of controlling it and that only heavy rain can stop it now.
