Wow, lots to talk about, much to catch up on.

List of things to do today for the blog.

Global Warming Hits The US

From a reader overnight: Arizona (and Texas too) looking better by the minute: this pdf will load:

Sorry for the delay in posting. Also, I deleted that original post since it was no longer applicable (about me being off the net for family commitments).

Our two older granddaughters and their dad flew to Colorado last night to go skiing this weekend; they will love the weather report. Thank you.

To Do List -- Today

Link the global warming story in Europe this week. 

Link Warren Buffett's annual letter (it should load as a pdf). I've read the first 15 pages of 248 pages. It is amazing how much I find useful in that letter -- in just the first 15 pages.

Update on coal.

EVs, tax credits, and all that jazz.

Finish updating the NDIC hearing dockets for March and April, 2018.

Post the top Bakken stories for the week.

Link a short throwaway on the "basics of crude oil classification."

Take a look at US gasoline demand.

Take a look at this post again, now that more time has passed. US vehicle miles driven in 2017 have been posted; an increase of 0.7% year-over-year. Updated here.

Take a look at Mexico's gasoline imports.

Comment on that military parade. Again, Peggy Noonan was wrong. As are all the rest.

Past top ten cities where millennials want to live. #1 and #2 will really, really surprise you. At least I was surprised.

Correct a gazillion typos on the blog. Again, a huge thanks to readers for not sending e-mail every time you spot a typo. My in-box would be overflowing.

What we will be talking about next week. 

Make coffee.

Stop by QT to get a $1.49 maple bar.

Watch Sophia at gymnastics and swimming class this morning.

In Our Apartment Complex

Don identified this hawk for me; greatly appreciated: a northern goshawk. I have never seen a mouse a rat, or a stray cat in this apartment complex.
