Black Winds of Death....I thought of the oil fires in Iraq. I heard this morning there were two attacks on the oil pipelines in Iraq either yesterday or today or both.

Add that to the alert yesterday for Texas refineries and it makes you wonder. Plus all the tanker accidents in the last 3 days. Why have all these big incidents been tankers with volatile fuel loads?

I think they actually are pretty common. I've been googling "tanker" for a couple months now and gas tankers seem to just fall over sometimes. Anyway it's not uncommon to see a wreck about every day or so somewhere in the country. But it does make you go hmmmm.

And I wonder if Russia has a little hand in that.
