Hi Rabbit,

On the Handguns:
I'm not in any hurry. It is a "new venture" so much to learn. I like the "back pocket carry" that I would do - just stick it in my pocket like I used to do with my wallet.

All I remember on Texas gun laws (early 70's) were the signs to check firearms entering a bar !!!

On the fracking:
Thanks for the article a few weeks back, I read it (long as you mentioned) but certainly covered the serious issues that the E&P co's are going to face going forward. I may have failed to thank you. I post the Ng info, hoping to generate some interest and contribution - As you do, and CJ with the weather and Trades keeps the charts up to date.

On your comment:
"I mentioned the fracking process and he said it was not as good as everyone makes it out to be. He said that, lack for a better description, after the fracking process that the wells tend to collapse in on themselve (not sure what that means), and then the have to be re-frackted. Therefore, he did not think it was the holly grail of energy exploration. I said so you don't think its that gread, and he said I know its not that great."

This is the main reason I pay close attention - one day, before long this is going to swing one way or the other and I think it will be dramatic. At the moment they are producing more gas than we can consume on a daily/short term basis. Something is going to change !!!!

I don't know how big a deal "re-fracking" is, but right now production is high and barely slowing.

Sounds like you had a great sandwich !!!!

Thanks, Lee
