Have you folks seen the price of gas and oil lately? Cold weather? Opec extending cutbacks? Maybe. Couldn't possibly be the rash of refineries shutting down, the latest in Venesuela, the largest in this hemisphere on Sunday. Add that to the six in the good ole USA. Seems like some serious problems in the oil industry. I hope its not a sign of more to come. Oil makes the world go round. If oil keeps going up when it should be going down because the industry has huge stock piles for y2k. Then something isnt right.

OT Was it a DeHaviland Beaver by any chance? I admired them in Viet Nam, the Aussie's flew it and the Pilatus Porter. Confronting airborne problems in a light plane gets one real close to contemplating the fragile fabric of life. We still haven't solved the Dos Y2K problems in my business, either, and I am supposed to be working on some updates we've received for the software, but Echelon (ELON) is taking all my attention. As long as the lights stay on we can function. The Brooks Range would surely have been magnificent on a better weather day. I've only seen them on a chart. Bill

i have, no make that HAD a cousin who's an architect. He's one of those missing wreckage types and it has only been 3 years. they never have found his wreckage. to know the horror of two missing persons, (him and his client passenger), his penniless wife, the tied up in knots firm with him and his partners and all the rest that goes along with not being declared dead for seven years rule, it is a nightmare beyond belief. can't even begin to imagine the grief of his deceased passenger and if there will even be anything left for the family to sue my deceased cousin let alone the aircraft manufacturer.
