Jet Fuel Supplied Plummets (Coronavirus); Oil In Storage Data Interesting; Weekly Petroleum Report -- EIA -- February 26, 2020

Bird-watching: cedar waxwing in backyard, north Texas (DFW area). I don't know the waxwings well enough to know which type of waxwing. I need to find them some berries. The woodpeckers love the suet but I don't have anything special for the cedar waxwings

North Dakota politics: foreshadowing the national election (except for California and a few other outliers)?

McDonald's: this is really getting bizarre -- how much mopping, scrubbing they are doing. And now they are painting -- touching up really, really small marks. This is almost bizarre. And the owner-manager (?) is still inspecting, inspecting. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of employees are looking for new jobs. This owner-manager (?) is clearly master of his own domain. 

Note: As soon as the EIA weekly petroleum report is posted, I'm signing off for the day.

EIA weekly petroleum report, link here:
  • US crude oil in storage, increased by 500,000 bbls, week-over-week:
  • total US crude oil in storage, 443.3 million bbls;
    • about 3% below the five-year average for this time of year
    • preparing for severe economic slowdown
  • refiners operating at 87.9% of capacity; very low;
  • jet fuel supplied:down 8.3% compared to same four-week period last year
