RE: missing link, by Infinite Infinite provides a link to an article of great interest.
Yes, very good article. I have been following this news for a period of time.
Last post I am allowed today, least until nine tonight here on our west coast. A correction and some humor.
Previously I wrote about Brazil and fuel. I wrote "methanol" and should have wrote "ethanol" which is wood grain alcohol and quite drinkable; moonshine, white lightning, liquor.
Moonshine is made from potatoes and is more common along the eastern seaboard states and deep south. White lightning, which we made, is made from corn. Liquor, I do not know, maybe ask those crazy French.
I suspect, though, Brazil is producing an end product of methanol, which is toxic to humans. If not, no doubt teenagers of Brazil would be sucking ethanol from pumps at filling stations, if not siphoning ethanol from cars directly into their mouths! Perhaps Brazil mixes in a bit of gasoline, which can be distilled away, if very careful.
Wood grain alcohol, ethanol, great stuff! A confession here. While attending post graduate classes for my science degree, we enjoyed many lab exercises but did not enjoy those lab practicum tests! Many of our labs on campus stock one-hundred percent ethanol, which is two-hundred proof booze. Rather tasty! However, not something to sip while your professor is around.
Reminds me of sipping white lightning with my cousins out on our farmhouse front porch, when adults are not around, well, most adults. Young teenagers sipping from a Mason jar is as common as young teenagers driving, in Oklahoma.
There is a mark of distinction for Mason jar sippers. This mark is a tiny scar across the bridge of your nose from drunkenly slamming a Mason jar into your face. This is how we Okies know sippers from those government revenuers.
Infinite provides an article which, in part, reads,
"'That is the biggest contract signed so far in the world. We've been negotiating since 2004 and now we got U.N auditing and approval,' Marcelo Junqueira, Econergy's vice president for transactions, told Reuters."
How fun to observe Rufus Harris address the United Nations!
"Now listen heah, yall, I done gots trill-uns of bucks an' I be a impoh-tant man, ya heah? Yall done gonna give me yer Johnny Hancock to these heah dealings of mine, rat quick like. I is gonna call-oh-nize that big ol' Georgia moon an' I done be lookin' rat down on you folks, so don't yall be givin' me no uppity sass cuz I kin done squash yall jist like one of them there blood suckin' ticks. Yall heah me?"
Oh boy, United Nations translators would certainly be challenged by Rufus English!

I smell electric wire burning. I think the spell check software here blew a fifty amp fuse on this article.
Yall done know what I mean?
