Since I Have Been Away.

Well, it has been approximately two years since I have been on this blog spot and I have been a very busy little bee. Since I have been gone I have completed my Associates of Science Degree in Pre-Nursing; I have been accepted into a Pretty good nursing program; we did not go on vacation this year because I was taking classes to complete my AS, PRN; and next year I will be taking summer courses also. It's just five semesters and it will all be over soon, it’s just one more summer of stay-cations. I have lost a few friends...one friend died in a motorcycle crash, one friend died by his own hand, one of my aunts died from breast cancer (she was 85) ... With the mixture of good and bad my life, it has been reasonably consistent. When I began this blog the Gulf of Mexico was being compromised by a leaking well head at the bottom of the sea. The gulf seems to be sicker than it was before the spill; the only people that seem to know that there is an ongoing propaganda campaign are the locals. There are billboard signs encouraging locals to resume eating gulf seafood and re-education programs in schools that have been funded by BP and other businesses to hide their abuses and to keep us quite...What is a good German like me to do against adversaries so well-funded... In 2010 my pecan trees failed to yield any nuts, I can only assume that the reason why they failed is because the we had very little rain and the air quality was bad, I cracked a few shells and the nut was shriveled and black, a total loss. I usually gross about fifty pounds of nuts from my trees. It's not a whole lot but I can say that the normal pecan pie and German pastries were not on the menu for that last couple of years. I am optimistic about this year’s crop of nuts; they are high in the trees and clustered well, so we might have a decent harvest of nuts this year. We do eat seafood, but the seafood is bought about a hundred miles east of where we live. The seafood here (in my local) is just a little bit contaminated and the fauna shows more occurrences of abnormalities than the colonies harvested east of us. We do venture into the gulf for recreation but we do so in Tampa, Florida. The last few times I have taken my children to the water here they have become ill, my youngest developed pneumonia and the others acquired bacterial infections of the lungs. Needless to say, these children will not be swimming in the northern Gulf of Mexico for a while. Next year we will go to Tampa and they can have fun again. Thanks for stopping by my blog I hope to write for you guys again!

Well I guess this sums it up for BP... Down in our neck of the woods all of the old BP stations are now shell stations.(six months or so ago they came out with these cute little tarp like covers with a shell logo on them).. I don't get gas at BP or Shell... I guess that this happened in the eve of a corporate take-over. Somebody gets a promise broken (or a great idea) and Oops... It looks like one of our rigs just blew up... Sorry, it looks like it is not going to cost us so much to buy you out after all... tehe..tehe.. tehe
And tell us about how atlantis is doing by the way? Really, I think atlantis is in trouble too... I really am not a sucker for a good story, everything happens for a reason.
If I were an investor I think that stock in shell are going to see a really, really big increase in worth, as BP's dwindles, NALCO stock should see a steady increase but the money is going to be in Shell. This is just a hunch. during the auto bail out I bought 100 shares of ford at 2.15 a share and after all the mess was over I sold for 5.50... I felt like I had hit the lottery! I see why investing is so invigorating..
