  Re: Diesel Cars/Trucks

  I lived on a farm farming over 2,500 acres over three countries (county)area.  Guess what, drove 6.2 liter 8 cycle GM diesel suburdan, and guess what , average mileage on Trucks run into 300,000 to 500,000 miles per vechile.(average MPG 18 - 20 MPG)  Had three running every day for ten years! Farming not easy or a 8-5 monday to friday with vaction days & holiday in between!

  Best descision I ever made about running vechiles the cheapest possible way and stay afloat in the farming business.  Total vehicles owned : 4 total over ten years! (Also run RED DIESEL) (NO ROAD TAXES) DON'T TELL THE IRS! THEY MIGHT GET MAD!

  RE: Drilling Oil & Gas , Global Warming

  I was born & raised in South Texas !

  We are all good stewards of "Our Land"  DOWN HERE! due to the fact that we earn our daily living from the Gift of God - IE: HARVEST ENOUGHT OF PRODUCTION ( GRAIN OR/AND CATTLE)  OF OUR HARD WORK, SWEAT, AND GOOD LUCK! TO MAKE ENOUGHT  MONEY TO RUN OUR "BUSINESS" AND MAKE A PROFIT TO PAID BACK PRODUCTION COST ( TO BANKS , LANDLORDS, TAXING AUTHORITES, (GOVEREMENTS) .

  The current new venture to hit this area(beside the Evil Oil & Gas Wells & Drilling Rigs ) is WIND FARMS!  Imagine that!

  Renewable energy!

  $800,000,000 million projects (Three Wind Farms in Kenedy County, Texas on the Sarita K. East Ranch!) employing 800 to 1200 contrustion workers average pay $25.00 per hour! Three to Four year minumnn projects possibly more!

  This December 2008 , the first batch of wind turbines will turning to the Right producing FREE and RENEWABLE ENERGY POWER  and sending it down a major tramission power line.

  Go Texas, But Don't try to build a Major Wind Farm in Mass. , espically near Ted kenndy Vaction home!

  Go Figure!!!!

  Have a Nice Day!
