Poor Little Fool -- Nothing About The Bakken -- January 2, 2017
If you came here for the Bakken, scroll down or go tot he sidebar at the left.
Washington Post will report Tuesday that Russians did not hack Vermont utility. Hillary, Obama, DNC, are being played for fools.
Poor Little Fool, Ricky Nelson
Seventeen US intelligence agencies were apparently aware of Russians hacking the election, at least according to Hillary, but not one of the seventeen agencies ever told Hillary.
Meanwhile, I'm watching Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy for the 150th time. It helps put things into perspective. I quit watching the Rose Bowl early in the 3rd quarter, I was so irritated with USC (my alma mater was USC), and then I learn a) it was the greatest Rose Bowl ever; and, b) USC won. I'm still glad I quit watching: I would not have been able to handle the tension.
On another note, I hear that:
And on another note, apparently customs computers are "down" and airline traffic has turned into a real mess (and this is over at CNN). The question I have: with the Obama administration and John Kerry, specifically, advocating "open borders" why do we even have customs and passport control any more?

On another note, I hear that:
- Grand Forks, ND, is -34 degrees;
- the entire state of North Dakota is snowed in;
- snow fall records have fallen and it's only two days into the new year; and,
- unlikely snow fall records this year will ever be broken.
The latest GFS model forecast total snowfall by midday Sunday shows the possibility of 6-12 inch snowfalls across portions of about ten southern states, including Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia.I'm glad we're spending all this money fighting global warming.

Reader Looks For Assistance; Note Issue Here; Can Be Worked Anonymously At Discussion Group If Interested -- January 2, 2017
From a reader over at the discussion group:
Our lease says we are to be paid at the well head with no deductions for transportation. And for a year that was the case. But when oil prices dropped the oil company started deductions about 20%. I am interested if others are having this happen and if there are any class actions. We have talked to an attorney, but hasn't been very effective.I'll post the note here and over at the Discussion Group, but it's been my experience that we won't get much response. This issue has come up a couple of times before, most "famously" with Chesapeake many, many years ago.

Global Warming HIts The Bakken, Bismarck, And DAPL; All-Time Snow Record Falls -- January 2, 2016
Updates
Later, 8:51 p.m. Central Time: two days into January and snowfall records have all been broken; these numbers are so huge, the snowfall records in North Dakota will never be broken again. And I hear it's -34 degrees in Grand Forks right now. I'm sure glad we're spending all that money fighting global warming. Wow, what a waste.
Original Post
BNSF snowed in two miles west of Lemmon, SD.

On another note: new front-runner for Secretary of Agriculture -- former Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue declined to confirm or deny reports Monday that he's now the leading candidate to serve as Donald Trump's agriculture secretary. I track the "cabinet" here.
