145. Big Mosque, Little Mosque
Nasruddin had gone to the city to settle some business, but things were not turning out well.
“You should go pray in the big mosque,” Nasruddin’s business partner told him. “Maybe God will help us.”
Nasruddin prayed in the big mosque, but his business still went badly.
He then went and prayed in a small mosque, and the next day he was able to settle his business matters favorably.
Nasruddin then returned to the big mosque and said, “Shame on you, big mosque! You look powerful and important, but it was the little mosque who finally helped me, not you.”

I didn’t have a elk sighting yesterday; what I had was a wild turkey chick sighting. I didn’t see the hen and saw only the last four chicks in the ‘string’ that most likely had more in it. This is the first time I’ve seen wild turkeys in the area. They have mostlikely been here during my past summers but I never saw any of them.
We got another afternoon rain yesterday, only 0.02″ at the reporting station and that is what my guess would be that we got here also. No more rain forecast during the next 10 days but strong winds are for this Saturday and Sunday.
Diesel is not a lifestyle fuel. It moves every truck on every highway, powers every locomotive, runs every tractor during planting and harvest, and drives every piece of heavy construction equipment. When a family decides gas prices are too high, they drive less. When a freight company decides diesel is too expensive or too scarce, it cannot defer the shipment — the grocery store shelves just go empty. Diesel demand is largely inelastic. The economy cannot negotiate with it the way it can with gasoline. — 13-18 DAYS: THE PRACTICAL DIESEL BUFFER… Does It Preclude Bombing Iran? by Larry C Johnson
President Trump wants you to think he has the oil supply situation well in hand and the main stream media is parrating what he has to say. I think we are going to see a supply disruptions after the 250th Celebrations that will make the COVID disruptions seem pale in comparison. You may still be able to get gasoline, probably at a higher price, but there will be far less on the shelves to buy at any price.
