Thanks, I get his newsletter. You are three hours ahead of me.

I remember the 1973 war vividly. My boss, Col Baranowski, got his nose into the airlift of weapons and munitions, and proudly displayed a picture taken with Golda Meir. Personally I don't recall suffering from the long lines and prices at the gas pump, then again I drove a 1970 Maverick, six cyl flathead, which got great gas mileage.

It doesn't quite look like an oil embargo at this point, maybe because we produce enough oil, that Exxon and their ilk are exporting, the excess but the oil cartel will take advantage of any event, to raise prices and maximize profits.
