Oil is falling precipitously today. Yesterday at $105, currently at $99. As I was commuting home yesterday, I picked up Sky Magazine and read Richard's comments for May, all about oil speculators driving up the price of oil beyond demand price. His proposed solution is to only let oil commodities be traded by companies that actually use oil.

Everything is going down today. The month jobs added and unemployment numbers were posted, and they are lackluster.

Don't we need oil high to justify the refinery. Oh wait, the refinery won't work because we'll be using the highest priced oil. I'm so confused:D

PS Stock is up a little (back above $11)

It's so ironic that the DL stock in our 401k we got through the merger when it was issued at ~4 dollars is by far the best performing sector of my 401k.

Quiter airplanes might be coming. Wonder it it will retro fit on a DC-9

Noise sponge cuts jet engine noise at the source of combustion

Is a Quiter airplane one that just stops flying?

Depends on what sector of my life you are referring to? :D

Oh, and Sen. Rand Paul is sponsoring legislation to abolish the TSA.

Sen. Rand Paul knows how to fix the TSA: end it - CSMonitor.com

Quixotic, or is there any merit? As a minimum I'm annoyed at being treated differently being in vs. out of uniform by the TSA. Also annoyed at "pat downs" of my four daughters.
