Progress of a sort

 So, Wednesday I finally finished a project for my last job... I graciously agreed to complete one set of numbers for them for a bunch of reasons, mainly for the money.  As I should have expected, what was supposed to be a quick and easy project quickly turned into the Russian Front; as I have often said, there is a reason why I no longer work at Freedonia anymore...  anyways, the big hunk of the project is done, and while there will be some follow up... well, one monkey off my back.  For a bit.  And there will be no follow up, let me assure you...

This is not surprising, given the bloodletting in the GOP primary and the fact that Ryan is on the air and Vance is not (though I am getting an impressive number of texts requesting money).  I think Vance is safe, but... funny; I was thinking about volunteering for the campaign, since I don't have enough to do.  But I do like the guy and the message, and these things take a large amount of legwork...

This is me, but...why not build more refineries?  I don't know, Ohio would be an ideal place, given we are sitting on natural gas formations, and have plenty of pipelines running through the state.  I realize with Gropey Joe in charge it would be difficult, but it wouldn't be impossible, and the optics are...favorable.

Interesting.  But it makes a lot of sense, and yet another reason why I like the guy so much...
