Okay, so yes MaryAnn is the girl next door and a honey (back in the day when silicon was only for computer chips )............Ginger always came across as too extreme maintenence..

I thought this would be an important tidbit for us to read but really didn't know where to post it.............it could become relevant to our existence here in North America. And I also didn't want to detract from the obvious joy that the girls brought to us back in the day.

Just this past week the U.S. lifted a 40-year ban on oil exports. The result? Some grumbling about the potential of exporting from Alaska to Asia, but in this price environment there is no chance of anything substantial happening. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia announced on Friday it was considering taking Saudi Arabian Oil Co., or Aramco, the world's largest oil producer, public.

Bloomberg reported, "The company could be worth anything from $1 trillion to upwards of $10 trillion, which would make it the most valuable company in the world..."


While the Saudis are reminding the world just how important they are (or how important they think they should be), this shines light on the fact the Kingdom is bleeding cash in this low oil price environment and is seeking ways to increase access to capital. The Saudis cannot run deficits forever and, given their leadership's penchant for public executions, have to keep their people quiet/happy via expansive social programs.

Ahhhh, perhaps our Dr. Taylor can tweak our quantum chip technology to incorporate a time travel device or .....???
