Yes, if the Good Ship SSTP sinks or is clearly sinking by next summer, I'll stand in awe of ye...

...if not, ye will need to be tipping your tri-corner in wondrous awe of "The Miracle"...

KaBOOM! You've just been hit. Better start bailing there, matey!

Word getting out!

Scroll about halfway down the page, look for the heading about 'biofuel'.

Cheap Airline Tickets News

A 'three-eeker' to be sure !!!

Well, here's a list of the major airlines in the U.S. of A.

Assuming it's one of them (a reasonable assumption), then we're probably talking with one of these:

Alaska
American Airlines
Continental Airlines
Delta Air Lines
Atlantic Southeast Airlines,
Frontier
JetBlue
Northwest Airlines
Southwest Airlines
United Airlines
United Express
USAir

I won't take the time, but maybe someone here has more time than I to check and see which ones are based in Dallas/Ft. Worth/Houston or elsewhere in the Great State of Texas.

Of course, geographical proximity may not be that relevant here....

I can only imagine the excitement/buzz it would create for ANY of the above airlines to announce that they have an agreement with SSTP to use all of the jet fuel they can produce so that they may achieve a 90/10 blend for daily flights.

off topic.... a survey....

or a question.... if i may.....

in the east coast and many other areas.... it has been very uncomfortable at nights... so many have used the A/C overnight to sleep comfortably......

last night.... for the 1rst time in a while the overnight low was 55 to 60 degrees..... very comfortable sleeping weather.....

so....

how many, blindly, lazily (whatever adjective u want to use) kept the a/c on last night, not realizing ... u could have simply shut if off and open the windows and let the natural cool air surround u..... ??

how many office complexes kept the a/c on overnight??

how much electricity/energy was wasted last night alone ??????

tonight the overnight low will be 55 to 60 again.... in many areas...... SHUT OFF THE A/C UNITS....

Good advice Al! Hope someone's listening!!!

I encourage everyone to have a look at this piece that came my way last week... at least scan the headings to catch the flavor of it.

Alstocks, what do you think of this?

Mr. Dave has a knack for finding these little gems "here and there"... good read in a local newspaper with, evidently, a follow-up planned for tomorrow.

Now this a good news, a story in a sizeable local newspaper with a follow-up pledged. This implies a bigger, more well-researched piece. So put a pot of coffee on in the morning and click back to the paper for a morning read! Hopefully, there'll be some decent "notes to compare" tomorrow...

...for Mr. Hardwick's follow-up piece on SSTP at The Sentinel, a part of Houston's Community Newspapers Online, and other news from the company...

...there's a rather exciting tennis match being played on center court at the Village (centre court for those of you living in Middlesex).

Fairway vs everybody.

For the moment, Fairway seems to be up a set; although, I like to root for the underdog.

[ParsonMac]

Hmmm... wonder if this will be picked up by any other news organizations...
