I like the numbers that the Arabs gave us. It would be hell to be using Roman numerals to express the huge numbers in use in my industry.

Highest paid driller at the exploration camp this winter is paid at the rate of $150/hr. Highest paid driller at the exploration camp four winters ago was paid at the rate of $80/hr.
That is an increase of 87.5% in just 4 years. Get a skill. Get a job where the action is. Get off your ass. Big money is out there, believe me.

Where's the pleasure in this? Titties have no muscles with which to squeeze a turgid penis. Titties don't moisten like a lovely pink vajayjay.
This practice is for morons who have looked at way too much chintzy porn. Adult men with adult tastes eschew this silly nonsense.

Good chance that Mrs. Palmer will fuck me tonight. Mrs. Palmer is 65, same age as I am.
Funny that, eh?

Part of my walk last evening took me through the University of Calgary campus. Lots of girls walking around but it was difficult to identify any hotties. Snowstorm yesterday - all the girls were wearing toques, parkas, mitts, and boots.

@Dougster,
What the hell do you know about Electric Avenue? Back in the day (1980s) that was the happening area. Maybe you remember Mad Trapper's?.....that was my favourite joint back in the heyday. Electric Avenue has changed to condos, high end retail and restaurants these days.
The Red Mile (17 Ave SW) and the night club strip along 1 St SW are the places to be now.

@sharkhunter,
In my lifetime I have never experienced 100F temperature in my part of Canada (Alberta and North West Territories). The hottest temp would have been something like 35C-36C (95F-96F). I did experience such horrific temperatures when I worked in Algeria and Saudi Arabia. In particular I remember one day in Saudi's eastern desert: 47C (116F) !!! Gawd, how I hated those places.
By the way, 20cm of snow in Calgary the last 36 hours. The world did not end, no tornado sirens.

@che,
"BTW Putin doesn't give a flying fuck about the price of oil."
That is complete and utter balderdash. Russia is probably more dependent on the price of oil than any other country in the world (save for perhaps Iran). The price of production matters nothing to Putin but the price he receives for each barrel of oil sold for $US is the lifeblood of the Russian economy. Reduce the number of $US entering Russia and you stop the Russian economy in its tracks. Russia is now part of the consumer economy. Its citizens (the sober ones) are accustomed to the delights of the consumer economy. Russia itself has lost most of its industrial base and is not yet capable of manufacturing acceptable consumer products for its restive population.
Even the Russian military is dependent on western manufacturers. Russia can't build state of the art high tech ships for its own navy; it purchases them from places like France, for example. Even now, Russia is incapable of feeding its own population. Oil provides the hard currency used to buy food for its people. And, the hard currency is necessary. The ruble is not convertible. As the Russian economy implodes with this decline in oil prices Putin can print as many rubles as he wishes so the Russian people can buy the every decreasing output of the Russian economy and the ever declining number of imports. The consequences of that happy event are self-evident.
No, comrade che, Putin is shitting bricks the size of Kremlin onion domes as he watches the price of oil plummet.

The cure for low prices is..........low prices; just as the cure for high prices is..........high prices.
I sold the oil part of my company last spring; not so much because I expected the crash in crude prices but more because I needed a pile of cash for the nat gas exploration play in northern Canada
I have lived through many of these price cycles in this industry and the resolution is always the same. High cost producers get driven out of the market and low cost producers expand, in anticipation of the next price surge.
Unless the fracers that are ripping up the Bakken in North Dakota and Saskatchewan can get their costs under $70/bbl all that Bakken crude will disappear from the market. What happens to WTI when 1,500,000bbl/day goes away? Or when 2,000,000bbl/day of tar sands crude vanishes?.

I should have added that this will be my first trip to Las Vegas. We will be staying at Bellagio and the only gambling that I would be interested in would be the horses or poker. I like poker but I am not a good player. I know my way around a horse track. Any recommendations for a good race book? How about a poker room for a bad player, but a bad player with a bankroll big enough to be the table bully?

I would suggest a 'shaming' campaign against Disney on social media. Disney is very sensitive to bad publicity.
The 'shaming' campaign needs more than a discussion thread on tuscl to affect Disney.
