A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country.
~~~
Well, there's a very simple answer.
~~~
Nobody bothered to check the oil.
~~~
We just didn't know we were getting low.
~~~
The reason for that is purely geographical.
~~~
Our OIL is located in:
~~~
ALASKA
~~~
California
~~~
Coastal Florida
~~~
Coastal Louisiana
~~~
North Dakota
~~~
Wyoming
~~~
Colorado
~~~
Kansas
~~~
Oklahoma
~~~
Pennsylvania
And
Texas
~~~
Our dipsticks are located in DC.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

You're a lot closer to the dipsticks though. Roll Eyes

Not 'a lot' closer -- neither of us wants to walk the distance; however, you're still closer to where some of the more prominent ones came from...

I was unaware any of them qualified for being described as prominent. Roll Eyes

Famous/infamous... in the news. Even Chicago is closer to you than to me.

You are correct, Chicago is closer to me, by 138 miles. But you said Washington was not a lot closer to you. D.C. is 428 miles from you, 835 miles from me, a difference of 407 miles.

I'd call that almost twice as close. In any event, it is not likely that either of us will bump into one of those infamous dipsticks.

And I, for one, am eternally grateful for that little tidbit.

Washington is over 525 miles from me... don't push me closer than I need to be...

We must be using different maps, or different rulers.
Or maybe you are measuring road miles, while I'm going as the crow flies. Just what Washington needs, more crows. Roll Eyes

Just how in the world are you able to manage a flight on a crow?!? Grin

I can only afford a sim plane... I travel on foot -- or feet, whichever the trip entails -- or bicycle for the time being. We have plenty of crows we can send to Washington... perhaps some of these congregating turkey vultures, as well; better to have them all in one place than cavorting all over the country.

No self respecting turkey vulture will go anywhere near Washington. Roll Eyes

Very funny joke L.T. Grin
