Coffee Talk This Morning at Economart (An Ole and Lena Story)

Overheard at the (Williston) Economart this morning. Idle chatter, no doubt with no substance.

BJ: Did you see oil, almost $90 yesterday?

CR: And the dollar strengthened a bit, so that was surprising.

DR: They say our number one supplier for oil is now Canada, the oil sands. And they've held up the new pipeline ...

CR: You mean the Keystone Extra or something like that ...

BJ: The Keystone XL, as in "extra large." It brings all the Canadian oil to the US.

CR: Hmmmm....

MK: Did you hear about Ole and Lena?

BJ: So, DR, what were you saying about the pipeline?

DR: Pelosi wants to stop the pipeline ....

CR: Yeah, her husband probably doesn't have any stock in TransCanada. When they buy in, they will let the Canadians build the pipeline.

BJ: And if that fails, we still have the Gulf of Mexico.

DR: Yeah, we still have the Gulf, but all the rigs have moved to Nigeria. The moratorium ...

MK: Did you hear about Ole and Lena?

CR: Someone is in deep doo-doo. And it ain't Ole.
