"If you think oil prices are high at $40 a barrel then wait till they are four times that much."

Then watch what happens when OPEC suddenly decides to change the currency it demands in payment from the U.S. Dollar to the Euro.

I hope not! I am not going to worry until I see a loaf of bread exchanged for a barrel of oil. We can live without oil and there is plenty of it. I don't know why we play these games.

denarius = a days work

[6] and I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; but do not harm oil and wine!"

This is why we have cancelled many of our European contracts.

The dollar is much stronger in South America, and that is where most of our wood imports come from now. Just speaking about our own business......I'm sure other American companies are experiencing the same thing.

New World Order alert! Don't need braille or announcement billboards to see it coming at us.
