I don't know how I missed your comment as I was responding to Yooper, but that's how it goes sometimes…<BR/><BR/>Anyway, yeah, check Episode 55 — the Saudis have invited the junta to “come defend them from Iran.”Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-36807507236593907722008-10-21T21:28:00.000-04:002008-10-21T21:28:00.000-04:00Hi Yooper!Good point about the bathing.

Most of those guys have the hair cut pretty short, so washing it shouldn't be much more different than other parts though. :-)<BR/><BR/>Interesting thought about the battleground, though. I doubt that it would be a matter of "let's pick a neutral site, winner take all" though — someone trying to seize an oilfield would have to get through the defenders between them and the prize… and somehow keep them from torching the whole thing. Iraq was, as I said a couple ep's ago, pretty much an oil grab for example…Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-65886606662781383542008-10-21T21:22:00.000-04:002008-10-21T21:22:00.000-04:00Saudi Arabia?!!

I've been real busy too, that time of the year...<BR/><BR/>Gee, I'd say Rene would be lucky to get a shower if he was sent to the front line in Saudi. One of the boys who served in Iraqi Freedom told me he'd only take a shower once a month, if he was lucky..Baby wipes abound, try washing your hair with a baby wipe!<BR/><BR/>I've always thought, IF there was to be a battle for oil, that it'd likey take place away from the area of the resource, not in it...Make sense? That the area would have to be secure in order to be productive. However, I must add, that I've never invisioned an "organized" effort by goverments trying to obtain oil going much further than what we're seeing now.... But that's only me and I know I'm really going against the grain in thinking... so....yooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297259993402713368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-38171740274795607492008-10-21T07:47:00.000-04:002008-10-21T07:47:00.000-04:00Thanks, JR.

Shoot me an email (FARfetched 58 with the at sign and aim dot com) if you see anything that doesn't look right.<BR/><BR/>Sorry about not being over at ZK lately. October is a killer for free time here. After helping the in-laws with their craft show preps, gathering firewood, and all the other things that have to happen, there isn't much internet time left. I've all but blown off CFN too.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-19322970516027410152008-10-21T02:29:00.000-04:002008-10-21T02:29:00.000-04:00Very good.

The key is you are totally keeping it serialized and being disciplined.<BR/><BR/>Excellent<BR/><BR/>JRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
