Blank is Half doing at Crest Hill?
And I damn sho ain't seen anyone yackin bout "ants" lately.

For the few I see, a whole new feeling runs over me.

Do you have on a mask? Do you wipe after every ride?

Providing most the benefits of doubt. ...

I then also think - brave, courageous, essential.

Thank you

We should be so lucky when Uber is slamming us with trips. Enjoy these prices while they last. The Saudi's and Russians have reportedly agreed to cut production.
The cut was 9.7mln bbls a day. It's a lot but for one cut but few are driving or flying. They were talking 10mln bbls and trumps said a week earlier 10 or maybe 15 mln.

right now crude is up 16 cts and gas futures about 2cts

I can understand why Russia didn't want to slow production, even though they aren't making much if any money on it, they need the cash flow. Saudi Arabia on the other hand I would think would be drowning in cash, but who really knows. Overall, it's a good thing that the Middle East or another region of the world doesn't produce a majority of the oil. Competition is a good thing.

Originally is was to run the shale producers out of business and they were trying to do it before coronavirus shut the world down. 20 years ago open had a price band target for crude of $22 to $28. If the average price went outside of the band for 30 days they increased or decreased production at the time the estimated production cost for the Saudi's was $1-2bbl now they use a much higher number as they use it to fund the country so the lump what they need into the production costs

The Saudi royal family have more money than Allah. But expensive lifestyles.

Crest Hill is my neck of the woods. Not my hood but my neck of the woods. I got there after providing rides to Frankfort, Tinley Park, Oak Lawn, Auburn-Gresham, The Godfrey Hotel, blah blah then out to Bolingbrook and as always, when approaching home turf I consult Gas Buddy for the best price on all possible routes toward home.

If it was nicer weather, I sure would have liked to sneak a walk along the lakefront or maybe just about anywhere in the Loop...for the city vibe.

No to the mask, yes to the wipe--quick swipes at a stop sign or pull-over which probably endangers my life more than saving others.

When riding back of my older brother's Harley, decades back, bikers give a little wave to one another. Same on hiking (biking) trails. Rideshares are too numerous to do that, but I am waving on the inside....and cursing (competition!!!!)

Ol Half Half of this half ...half of the other. @Halfmybrain

I'm glad you are fighting the good fight. Lots of underpaid and little appreciated workers are perplexed by their new "essential" designation.

Being a pompous, condescending old man, please forgive, but you are missing something. Something big.

If you have been providing rides, throughout all of this, then either you got sick long ago, recovery without notice and your body is fighting the virus off nicely. Can't touch this.

OR

You are an asymptomatic carrier and I shutter to think.

No judge, regardless.

What I hope to bring forth in your mind is just because you cake walk through the first iteration, by no means, means you are in the clear.

Viruses mutate. Adapt and hang out a while way down south and come back.

The exact habits of doing what you already know you are supposed to do are tedious and cumbersome.

Wipe like you are superman and you are tasked to save the world. Make a mask. Wear it.

See, it really is all about you. (Finally, eh)

You are training your self to be a good citizen in the new world. Retooling habits and instinct
Nothing is more important. You wipe everything all the time primarily to teach your brain not to touch anything. At home and abroad.

You don't do it because you fear today, you do it for a better tomorrow.

Like the Gov said, look around. Pick the people you think deserve to die.

Or not.

Just think, in a couple years, some kind of superbug goes around and only those who had Covid-19 are immune. The others' nipples all shrivel up, their noses turn into beaks and and their feet become tentacles.

Of course Trump, Fauci and Birx will have hell to pay. Maybe one of them will have hell toupe.

I lost my hell toupe in those 50 mph gusts the other day....
