A Splash of Cold Water (Or Is That Oil?)

From Rigzone a timely article that addresses the costs and challenges of drilling, even if the Outer Continental Shelf were opened up. Read carefully what the article states about the alleged millions (billions?) of barrels of oil out there:Producers will need to proceed carefully because, despite the 18-billion-barrel figure released by the government, no one knows what's really in the

It's Official

I finally put my stake in the ground. Halloween is my last day to dance with Uncle. I'll be officially pensioned off the following day.I wondered how it would feel to make it official, and I can now report it's a mixed bag. The division leadership acknowledged my upcoming departure, and it's clear there is an effort building to have a meeting in Chicago (assuming the $$ are there) that will

Still Here and Still Smoooookin'!!

On June 9 I wrote about a close encounter of the executive kind and how I felt about it. I have since received feedback from more than one person that the post caught their attention and they were concerned about me.First of all, I do appreciate the concern and I thank you for letting me know.Secondly, when I let off steam and rant, be grateful. Because when I button up and shut down, well it's

Breaking Up Is Not So Hard To Do

For my friends who question the reality of global climate change (or warming if you prefer), consider this. Right now we are talking ice shelves that already float in the sea, and whose separation from the Antarctic will pose a hazard to shipping, but not much else. However, these ice shelves also are a fence in front of the Antarctic glaciers, which, if they break loose, will create a net

Transitions

It is time for transitions. Mike left the USA 5/22/08 for Iraq, with a stop in Kuwait first. I am not entirely certain how long he will be there. 12-15 months I should think. He's 18, old enough to vote, carry a big gun, and risk death, but not old enough to drink. The Army taught him something about the world he is entering, but I don't believe it taught him enough. He'll learn the rest over

Living Beyond Our Means

From the The Kansas City Star, an article about oil production.

The End of Oil

A reasonably well written article about the end of the age of oil. Logic can be compelling.

Failure

In my entire life I don't believe I was ever described as being a 'failure.' Lord knows I have often felt that way given how Americans label people. I could live with not meeting expectations for beauty, social position, or relationships (being a single heterosexual female does have its drawbacks). But, I did pride myself on delivering what was expected of me.True story:When I was 6 my mother

Interview

From The Energy Bulletin a posting of a panel discussion about energy and urban design. James Kunstler is one of the panelists, Nikos Salingaros is the other. Part 2 is here.Pay attention to what they have to say about skyscrapers (New York is their focus) and consider what it may mean for the Loop and Streeterville. Also, LEED certification is only as good as its practitioners. They also

The Fallout from the Primary

I don’t know where to start.I saw the Hillary Speech and the Barack Speech. Hillary made certain that the whole world knew where she stood and what she stood for. And she made it clear she wasn’t going gently into the night. Barack, after acknowledging his family, made certain that the whole world knew it was about “us”, as Americans and what we can be and do as Americans. Two very different

Feeling the Love!!

Oh do I feel the love tonight!!The project I am on requires regular travel to our nation's capital. We stay in various hotels and this morning I found out I am in the wrong hotel, totally. Part of my group is out in Maryland, I am in DC. This AM at our opening meeting I was given a gift: an autographed picture of George Takei as Sulu in TOS. He is staying at their hotel, and the group ran into
