The Bakken This Next Week: Clear, Sunny -- December 26, 2021

Twenty degrees below zero, and zero is 32 degrees below freezing (°F):

Just think: with global warming, it might be only sixteen degrees below zero instead of twenty degrees below. 

That's without the wind.

And, oh by the way, this is early January. February is the really cold month in western North Dakota.

Update On Virginia - West Virginia Natural Gas Pipeline -- The Mountain Valley Pipeline -- December 26, 2021

Operator website.

Wiki entry here.

Only twenty miles left to complete this 304-mile pipeline. Was scheduled to be completed this year (2021); now tea leaves suggest it won't be completed in 2022; and if it's not canceled, a likely possibility, it won't be completed until 2023. 

Links everywhere.

Meanwhile, On The Other Coast ...

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay abruptly departs California; moves restaurant headquarters to Texas.

Will move to Las Colinas, Dallas, which bills itself as "the ultimate urban center."

Las Colinas, Irving, Texas, is almost directly east of us, about fifteen miles by highway, on the other side of DFW airport.
