Themagicman101...
We have 8...The Momma and Daddy and their 6 kiddos (Mom and Dad are almost 3 years old the 'pups' are gonna be two in the Spring).... They are definately a handful...They need LOTS of attention and care, but we love it...I'd post a pic of Zeus (the daddy) but the Café won't let me use him as my Avatar...Bummer....He is absolutely gorgeous...HUGE (125 pounds) and unbelievably cool...Very sweet, smart but goofy, and incredibably loyal... The pups are a regular 'gang'...They love each other, but fuss every now and again...Their favorite game is 'Gang up on Granpa' (I'm Granpa).... One of these days you may actually get to see them...We are trying to find out how to get pictures of them used for Calenders (They are ALL extremely beautiful).... Who knows...It may happen. Prof. Piper :juggle: P.S....If you were wondering about their intelligence here's an anctedote to let you know: I'm a juggler as well as a Magician...I can juggle with them all around me, drop a ball or club and they will NOT touch my props...I've never 'told' them not to mess with my stuff, they just know...Granpa's toys are HIS toys and NOT ours to play with!!!

Although my 4.5 mile bike ride to Wal*Mart is also on a two lane road and it so hilly that I have to get out and push that bike a couple of times. (Coming home down those two hills is a gas though!) The point is we have to get creative in our transportation choices. Quote:

Mandrake..
Cool idea about having us both in a pic...I'll give it a try, but don't know if it will work or not...For some reason I'm having trouble getting pictures I take with my camera (a VHS-C camcorder that is also a digi-still camera) transfered out of it's own software and into documents... I'd LOVE to be able to ride the bike everywhere again...It just isn't possible here...The roads (and drivers) are simply too dangerous to risk it. Take care, Prof. Piper :juggle:

In Sardinia it was non-exsistant, and currently in the Ireland, unless you are in the Dublin area it is below pitiful. A 1.5 on scale of 1-10.

The level of Greed in the US botheres me. Gas prices around me are about 2.80 and I can't believe we pay for it. There probally not going to lower the prices because they have us thinking oh 2.50 is cheap! I hope my government will do something about this soon.

Heh, I found this old thread from 2005 while searching for something else. I did not realise that gas prices were already a hot topic of discussion here way back in 2005!

We think we have if rough try $9.66 in Paris and $11.29 in Turkey. Also, from 2001 to 2005 gas prices rose by 77 cents. Between 2006-2008 gas went from $2.10 to it's current price.
I joked on another forum that with all of the people driving less and switching to fuel efficient vehicles ... gas prices should be heading back down. The good news, South Dakota is building the first new refinery in 30 years. The bad news, it's not going make a difference by the time it's finished if we don't get behind the eight ball.
POOF!

You know it's funny. People want cheap gas, but they don't want refineries built or drilling expanded. I wonder how they figure they'll get the price to go down then?
The fact is, people NEED gas. The product has a near "0" elasticity, much like pharmacudicals. You simply can't survive without it. Thanks to this fact and the percieved scarcity of oil, oil futures are through the roof - making the price go up at the pump. Is there anything you can do to lower the price of gas? Sure. If you're in the US, you can write your representatives about allowing drilling in A.N.W.A.R. We might not get the physical gas for 10years, but a huge boost in available supply will massively reduce the percieved scarcity - reducing the price at the pump.
Think inside the box. . . it's less crowded.

It might reduce the price of a barrel of oil by about 75 cents in 2025! The best case scenario leads to a reduction of $1.44 per barrel in 2027. None of this would have a significant effect at the pump. Excerpted from the just-released EIA study at http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/servicerpt/anwr/index.html "With respect to the world oil price impact, projected ANWR oil production constitutes between 0.4 and 1.2 percent of total world oil consumption in 2030, based on the low and high resource cases, respectively. Consequently, ANWR oil production is not projected to have a large impact on world oil prices. Relative to the AEO2008 reference case, ANWR oil production is projected to have its largest oil price reduction impacts as follows: a reduction in low-sulfur, light (LSL) crude oil2 prices of $0.41 per barrel (2006 dollars) in 2026 in the low oil resource case, $0.75 per barrel in 2025 in the mean oil resource case, and $1.44 per barrel in 2027 in the high oil resource case. Assuming that world oil markets continue to work as they do today, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) could neutralize any potential price impact of ANWR oil production by reducing its oil exports by an equal amount."
