End Of The Line -- July 16, 2018 -- Nothing About The Bakken


From oilprice.com: Ontario kills renewable energy projects to bring bills down.
The new Ontario government is canceling or winding down 758 renewable energy contracts that will see more than 200 projects killed off in southwestern Ontario as the newly sworn-in government follows through with its pledge to bring hydro bills down by 12 percent.
Ontario ratepayers will benefit from US$601 million (C$790 million) in savings due to the decision to cancel and wind down the renewable energy contracts.
Well, that fad -- renewable energy -- didn't last long.

Ed Wood

For the third time in about ten evenings, I'm watching Tim Burton's movie, Ed Wood, with an all-star cast, including Martin Landau and Johnny Depp. It's hard to believe, but the movie won two Academy Awards, including Landau for best supporting actor.

I can't recommend the movie. One truly has to be in the right frame of mind to watch this movie. But I love it.

Our Man In Havana

One of the funniest books I've read in ages is Our Man In Havana by Graham Greene. I'm purposely not reading the wiki entry regarding this book or reviews of this book until I've finished it. Every chapter is good but some are better than others. Some really good writing -- some great quotes, if one could remember them.
"He had an easy rapid insolence you had no time to resent before he had given fresh cause for annoyance." 
-- sort of reminds me of Acosta, that rude and disrespectful CNN White House correspondent. LOL.
