    I'm certain that one of the 2,663 available trucks currently available within 200 miles of Portland OR grabbed it.

    Oil prices plunged on Monday to multi-decade lows. The front-month May contract for West Texas Intermediate futures, which expires Tuesday, fell by more than 36 percent to $11.55 a barrel.

    Remember when the "experts" were predicting $100, $200 & $400 a barrel by 2020?

    Expert makes the case for $400 per barrel oil

    Remember when the "experts" were predicting up to 2.2 million deaths in the United States from The Wuhan Flu?

    The county I live in in northern California (Sonoma) has a little less than a half million people. So far we have around 150 confirmed cases of Covid19, and 2 deaths. People are pissed off and want to get back to work. Of course that could change if everybody got back to business in close proximity, but life is not without risk. Most people here haven't received their stimulus checks or ACH payments yet for some strange reason. I've always had my taxes refunded directly to my checking account, and for some reason the IRS systems shows that my "check" is scheduled to be mailed out on the 24th. My daughter in Oregon got her ACH deposited into her account early last week. I don't particularly need or want mine, but I figure I'll hang onto it should any of my kids need it for expenses.
