Well if we could get our hands on some of that the Miracle Metal our problems could be solved. But Old Man Reardon is too damn stubborn to let us just have some! It's just not fair! (fist pounding on the borrowed/stolen desk)

That's it, I'm calling Mouch....somebody give me their phone to use, dang it, I'm in charge here and I'm entitled! ~ a looter's rant?

  Maybe the miracle metal will come from a startup in North Dakota involved in nanofibers. The Federal gov't will want to share all that wealth from oil and related investments.

    I saw a map where the derailing took place. How close is that to you, rockymountainpirate? As I remember, you live up in the MT mountains somewhere.

        In Montana, that's just a hop, skip, and a jump.

        It is. Things are big and far apart out here.

I saw this on Fox News tonight. There were three fuselages being shipped to Boeing in Washington, north of Oregon. A fully outfitted 777 jet is about $1 billion. The reason why most airlines (other than Southwest) can't make money is because of the high capital cost of the jets themselves. I hope they were insured!
