For newbies: note the dreaded Bakken decline rate. 

Full production profile for one of the wells, as an example, as of 9/18, many/most of these wells are flowing without artificial lift (pump):

Happy Anniversary! ExxonMobil Has Been In The Bakken Almost Exactly Nine Years -- November 21, 2018

From a note dated November 29, 2009.

XOM will buy XTO, a significant player in the Bakken. XOM is now in the Bakken. With one deal, there could be another huge cash infusion into the North Dakota oil industry with XTO having new capital to expedite drilling program. Even CNBC mentioned "the Bakken in North Dakota" right after this deal was announced.

Ah, Yes .... Global Warming, Again -- November 21, 2018

From the tabloids, I guess, so it must be fake news. Whatever.

To The Granddaughters

Years ago, near the end of my career, the USAF sent me to northern England on temporary duty. It was an incredibly wonderful time of my life. Many, many memories. I remember on Sunday mornings, running -- literally running, no car -- down the hill to the little store where I bought the two Sunday papers -- The [London] Times and The [London] Express (or maybe another one, I forget) -- they must have each cost about $5 or $6. I would also buy a dozen eggs, some ham, bread, etc., and run back "home" and cook an English breakfast and spend the morning reading the British papers.

The screenshot above -- The Express -- reminded me of those halcyon days.

Meanwhile, tonight I was getting our Thanksgiving meal prepared. May does not care for ham, and we're "tired" of turkey. Salmon we have three or four times a week. What to have for Thanksgiving?

Ah, yes. Lamb.

Lamb from Costco. Costco has the best meat selection. Period. Dot.

So, we marinade / marinate the lamb for at least 12 hours, preferably 24 hours.

What Brand Of Whiskey Did General Ulysses S Grant Drink?

From ZeroHedge. I hope we never lose this link. Archived. It's that important. 

Abraham Lincoln, when informed that General Ulysses S. Grant was a drunk, famously asked Grant's accusers what whiskey he was drinking so Lincoln could send a barrel to every general in the army. Keep this in mind when President Donald Trump's critics accuse him of "racism" against blacks.

Under this "racist" President, black unemployment, since the government began keeping numbers, hit an all-time low in May.
