   She’s right. Where would you draw the line? Do you have to lay the eggs at home to make it “homemade”? :D

   Sure! Because cab drivers are not chatty at all :D I always get the one I call “newspaper cabbie.” They navigate the conversation through newspaper sections. Front page: “Have you heard about the Tsunami in Java?” Local: “Another council meeting… they should meet less and work more…” International: “The war… huh? It’s like it never ends…” Politics: “Him or her?” Crime: “You can’t walk at night anymore…” Sports: “How about those Knicks?” Weather: “Nice weather we’re having, isn’t it?” and the Funnies: “Have you heard about the nun walking into the bar with a platypus…” :D

   Interesting thought but no. They ask me for the time, directions to streets farther away than Mars, imaginary stores that used to sell “thingies” 50 years ago… Once, this “friendly” old lady asked me what bus I was waiting for. I said both because both go to my destination. She went ballistic! And I had to suffer, through my alleged “noise-cancelling” earbuds, a tirade about how god forbids people from taking any bus. According to the bible, you have to pick one and stick to it :D

   Market convergence… same product, same process, same distribution. You can expect the prices to be about the same. The truth is that every drop of oil and every oil well is different from the next. They differ in production costs but that makes the calculation difficult. So, everyone uses references like WTI, Brent, and OPEC, depending on the market, for its base material cost and adds along the production/distribution chain. The other factor is market offer. If everyone around you offers at a certain price, you don’t want to be the most expensive. With a bottom limit, based on estimated costs calculated from the same references, and a top limit, based on market offer, convergence is (could be) expected. Oil is a complex market with a limited number of players and a long chain of production/distribution. It’s not the same for meat or farm products or other markets where convergence could happen eventually but it’s too difficult to reach.

   Think about what? Wasn’t it HHM? Hamlin, Hamlin, and McGill? Hombre, Mujer, Mujer? Shouldn’t Lola wear the ampersand and get in the middle? Why are they called m&m? Where are the ampersands?!?!?!? They’re all “w”! Why so many questions so early in the morning? Where’s my coffee? Where are my wife and family? Why if I die here? Who’ll be my role model? Now that my role model is gone, gone. Ducked back down the alley with some roly-poly bat-faced girl.

   How about skipping the comics at breakfast and leaving them for lunch… or, and this is just a wild guess, shut off the Internet and go to bed earlier :D Oh! Sorry! You didn’t want replies to your top comment! ;D

   Andy has very little to no experience with kids. And I think Horace forgot the kneepads and the cup. :D

    Another thing that brings bad luck to boats… getting into a war! :D Seriously. It’s a known fact, BION, that over 90% of boats involved in wars have been shot at, even sunk.
