OIL!!!! Which by the way is what many think our misguided invasion of Iraq is about. But that is for another thread I suppose.....<br /> <br /> I hope all is well mate. You have a mate posting named Johnny Orange by the way. Now there are TWO of you Aussie types....who is invading who? <span class="e_grin" title=":D"><span class="e__">:D</span> </span> (insert laugh here).... <hr /><a name="a1760_120"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1760.120">#120</a>]<br /> 19 Oct 2005<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> <p>There are now reports that places are putting Christmas items on sale to hit the market before the first home heating bills arrive.</p> <p>$%*&^$%</p> <hr /><a name="a1760_121"></a><p><b>From: rich (SPYDER62)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1760.121">#121</a>]<br /> 19 Oct 2005<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> Too late, already filled my oil tank ( $2.87/ gal) over 500 bucks.

Since my main occupation is farming I can relate to alot of what has been posted here. First of all, I doubt if anyone is plowing under any crops. The main reason for farm subsidies is to be sure THIS country has a steady food supply. Of course, being in the beef business, we get little subsidies. Beef considered a luxury. I too have had to scale back. I still have a 2004 duramax diesel for feeding and hauling but have parked it because of $3.50/gallon diesel and 10 miles /gal. Bought me an '83 Ford ranger for $800 and get 30 mi/gal. Not near as comfortable, no radio, smokes a little but..... Just my 2 cents worth.
