I know that things currently seem desperate with gas and grocery prices, but there is silver lining potential in the not too distant future (link to the Time Article Here). Very interesting article, of which a quick summary is found below :o)
And they all have their foot on the gas. At the Aurora North mine, a giant shovel fills up another 797B Caterpillar heavy hauler with a 400-ton load of material that--after being spun in what looks like the world's largest cement mixer to separate the bitumen from the sand--will eventually yield 200 bbl. of oil. "A year from now, that mountain won't be there," says Crisby, referring to the black wall of bitumen-rich soil gradually being demolished by shovel, dozer and a convoy of heavy haulers that operate around the clock.

I am well aware many people in this great wealthy country are living below the poverty level, but having been to a large food store before the holiday weekend, YIKES. Huge honking, rushing, suvs driven by yelling people. Inside the store, same thing. Overflowing carts, knocking into each other.Bags of candy & chips opened & spilled in aisles. Grabby rude people annoyed if an older person, or someone with small childen slowed them down.
Maybe we'd all be less desperate acting if we bought a little less food, drove slightly smaller vehicles & were just nicer to each other in general. ~Mary
... timely entry ... and I applaud you for being out there in the trenches doing the selfless and thankless work that everyone hopes someone is doing ...
