Random Look At An Incredibly Busy Location -- Alkali Creek, 20/21/22-155-94

I've seen a fair number of Hess EN-Nelson wells recently so was curious what the area looked like. Here it is:

A Suggestion

From Yahoo!Finance:

The U.S. government has officially hit its debt ceiling. Beginning today, the Treasury Department is taking “extraordinary measures” to keep the government from defaulting on its debt which now exceeds $18 trillion.

A suggestion: starting exporting US oil. LOL.

I can't wait to see the "extraordinary measures the Treasury Department takes. We should start hearing about them late Friday evening, after COB.

In A Box

The AP is reporting:

For the Federal Reserve, patience may no longer be a virtue.

Surrounding the Fed's policy meeting this week is the widespread expectation that it will no longer use the word "patient" to describe its stance on raising interest rates from record lows.

The big question is: What will that mean?

Many economists say the dropping of "patience" would signal that the Fed plans to start raising rates in June to reflect a steadily strengthening U.S. job market. Others foresee no rate hike before September. And a few predict no increase before year's end at the earliest.

Complicating the decision is a surging U.S. dollar, which is keeping inflation far below the Fed's target rate and posing a threat to U.S. corporate profits and possibly to the economy. A rate increase could send the dollar even higher.
