    They are finally realizing about 100 million barrels are to be stored from producers potentially after close of May Contracts at 2 pm tomorrow. There is about half a BILLION Barrels (49 gallons per barrel) pending all the way to september delivery at prices paid from 21 dollars all the way to 42ish per barrel.

    Currently the price of oil is negative 40.00 and storage is maxed out including National Strategic reserve. If God warned NOAH that we will flood the whole earth in water, we just fixing to flood the earth in oil that is being pumped out. All of that must stop this month. Which means no money for Saudi, Russia, USA, Vene, Iran etc. None.

    We are going to have to find a lake behind a dam, drain that lake to dirt, then refill with that half billion of oil. The old USSR used to have such underground lakes the size of some of our states in their territory during the cold war. OR if we don't have time to drain a lake we need to pick a valley, build a dam at the end of it and then ship the oil there and fill it.

    No one is going to dare stay open and try to pay people to fill tanks which is where it is as of today.

    There might be a good chance that truckstops will just lock up the fuel pumps when these negative prices take hold. All these trucks cannot get fuel for love or money. And neither will our military planes and tanks.

    In 1956, on US 45, night marshal in Greenfield, TN pulled me and another in. 2 AM . Came up fast 5 miles out of town. Put us in the back seat and said: " Y'all can go back to town and stay in an old cold jail that has not had a fire in it in a week or pay me $20,00 apiece and on you way". Two 20's flew over the seat and we walked back to the trucks. A few months later, TN state ran an Argo-Collier thru there with a state man in the jump seat.
    Heard the guy was charged, never knew the outcome. Lots of shake downs back then.

    SO

    This morning would have been completely obliterated by a Schneiser truck.

    Dude went through a red light, full speed ahead, probably 40 to 45, after the light was red for a good 5 seconds.

    Two other lanes of cars stopped.

    Everyone has started going into an intersection before and seen somebody coming fast and thought,"Are they stopping?"

    Same thing. And once they're within a couple hundred feet, it's like," Nope he ain't stopping. "

    So dude went by me at like 45 about 4 feet away. Never even slowed down.

    Hmmmmm. This is kinda shady advertisement. Cause it's not a real BOGO.

    The OM is not pleased.

    reminds me of an old joke..

    Two guys are driving. Well, actually, only one is driving, the other is riding. Anyway, they're driving along, and they come to a red light. The driver blows right through it! The passenger says "What the hell, man?! That was a red light!" The driver waves him off, saying, "Me and my brother do this all the time!”

    So they drive a little while longer, and they come to another red light. Once again, the driver blows right through it. The passenger freaks out. The driver says, "Man, relax, alright? My brother and I always drive like this, and we’ve never been in one accident."

    A few moments later, they come to a green light, and they stop. The passenger looks at the driver and says, "What the hell are you stopping now for?" You almost threw me through the windshield!!

    "Well, my brother might be coming the other way!"

    Well I made it to my favorite restaurant and it’s closed due to covid-19. That’s the last straw. No reason to come to Louisiana anymore. All my reasons are gone.

    They wouldn't even let me in this gas station this morning to get coffee without a mask in the communist state.

    Probably why Schneiser doesn't feel the need to obey traffic control device. No coffee.

    Although there was just a Schneiser here at the TA parking wearing his vest and mask in the truck.
