      Industry News: SLATE EV Pickup starting at under $20,000, Funded by Jeff Bezo

      This is super cool. However, I don't think it will actually do very well here. Any of the customizations will eat into the little 150 mile range. The larger battery version, whenever that may come out, would be more ideal.  With that being said, this could be a perfect first car for a kid. Low power, two seats in a non-sporty vehicle, not a ton of range. Yeah, I'd buy a used one as a first vehicle for my kid(s).

      For being a large metro area, people are unusually nice at restaurants, stores, etc., and even strike up conversations with you in coffee places, but they become demonic on their big freeways.  I'm put into high defense mode when I drive there.  Add the big highways and multi-lane boulevards in big Florida cities to that.

      My sister used to work out there at Conoco Phillips...did a consulting contract for a couple of years that had her flying between Phoenix, Bartlesville, OK (in and out of Tulsa airport) and Houston most every week.  Said the drivers on I-10 outside Houston were among the worst she'd seen..

      I remember a little about oil and gas among energy segments.  So much of it relies on estimates to account for DD&A (depreciation, depletion, and amortization), which can really change the financials.  But I'm sure they can audit a lot of things in energy - financial, operational, and more, as in many ways to skin a cat and a lot to look out for.  When I've flown into Houston and you fly over the renowned insanely wide I-10 between the Galleria and Katy, that's now known as the Energy Corridor, it reminds me of these topics ... and how many of those people may occupy the nearby newer McMansions out that way! It very well could have been.  There's a lot of recounting personal experiences and mini "interviews" in the film.  I liked it more than I thought I would.

      We're going to be in a huge natural gas crunch by next winter. I just locked in my rate for 12 months.
