An interesting tid-bit is that Battlestar Galactica used it as an alternative for the "F" word. Eventually when I'm bored late at night I'll send you that portion of the book in quote form. I suspect you would find it interesting.Bakken Ownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09529106861001326125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149283829854298377.post-50195715951108890972014-01-30T11:56:05.511-06:002014-01-30T11:56:05.511-06:00It's funny you should note that.

Most likely because right now, COAL is politically incorrect, but you can bet COAL will continue to be a major piece for BNSF. <br /><br />Yes, I know BNSF very, very well.

As it is, "fracking" is almost too close to unprintable double entendre -- I'm thinking of my Bakken sweatshirt/pullover: "Drill 'Em, Frack "Em, Pump 'Em." Yes, it's available on-line.Bruce Oksolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952652803684625738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149283829854298377.post-64363522191780936082014-01-30T11:37:50.403-06:002014-01-30T11:37:50.403-06:00If you research Great Northern, they are HUGE into...If you research Great Northern, they are HUGE into coal development.
