Not product placement: I normally don't do this, but I think it's worth reminding folks, especially if you have children. The Disney Mickey Mouse waffle maker is superb. I assume there are similar (and probably even better) models out there. But it is so incredibly easy and so quick to make Bisquick waffles, and they are so incredibly delicious. I can literally have a complete batch done by the time my coffee has brewed. (I give the waffle make a head-start; I don't start the coffee until the first batter is poured on the waffle maker.) I wash all dishes as I go along. I don't get out the electric mixer; I just use a hand-driven whisk.
The Bisquick recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of milk and one egg. I use only 1 cup of milk (because I'm usually low on milk -- it always catches me by surprise) and add a second egg.

Iran: The Big Winner -- Bloomberg
Agree: Iran is the big winner. After getting the concessions it needed from Saudi Arabia:
- Iran signed a new-model oil investment contract
- $2.2 billion deal with Persia Oil * Gas Industry Development Co to boost output at three fields
- a second contract will be signed later today (Wednesday) -- no details
- the "new type" of contract is designed to better reward investment in oil and gas production
- it may take a few years for results to be known
- nothing was said about waffles in the Bloomberg story

First, The US Gulf of Mexico; Now The North Sea
BP's UK oil field Clair is still shut following a leak at sea.
- began October 2, 2016; up near Scotland
- won't start back up until "completely certain" the technical issue is resolved
- about 700 bbls released into the sea
- compares with 4 million bbls in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010
