p.s. great to have you back
Thanks for the welcome back

What does your friend do there at the refinery?
I have family working in Billings MT at a refinery and they've slowed down considerably there... For whatever reason, thats unclear to me, but it mite be different for them vs. your "friend"

I think whats happening here is that the US is stockbuying on oil and waiting for them to dry up so the old switcharoo and sell it back to them at a high price? just a thought, no clue tho.
