Oil refineries are typically built to handle a certain type of crude oil (input) and to create a certain type of refined product (output). Typically, a refinery can only "switch" between a few types of outputs and aren't very efficient at producing the other products. Refineries that produce home-heating oil also produce diesel fuel, as the two products are very similar. As we head into winter, those refineries are producing more home-heating oil and less diesel. As a result, we are seeing some of the worst tightening in the diesel market than we have seen in decades. In about three weeks, we are going to see the price of diesel surge, even as the price of home-heating oil is also seeing historic highs. Given the problems we are seeing in crude delivery and price, the trading off of one output for another doesn't produce much relief.

Dear All,
I had a stroke on 11/5 and spent a week in the hospital. I am doing well, but will need surgery in the coming weeks; please continue to pray for me.
Thanks,
-John.
We're going to a local zoo tomorrow - haven't been there in a LONG time. I'm looking forward to it, I find it peaceful. If you have a nearby zoo, consider visiting it soon if you haven't been there in a while. :-)

The epic tale of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" has a moral to the story: at the end, after crying "wolf!" falsely and laughing at the woodsmen who comes to "save him", the wolf really does appear and now the woodsmen don't respond to his cries for help. We are seeing that in today's society: these hyperventilating, mouth-frothing, extremists have been screaming that it's "the end of democracy" or "everyone's a racist, bigot, -phobe, (insert whatever here)", or "the climate is going to implode in 12 years" are in for a rude awakening. The wolf is November 8th.
