Gas prices are lower, & will likely stay lower. Pres Biden perfectly timed the refilling of the Strategic Petroleum Res. Oil prices hit their lowest levels in months -boon to American markets & slowed US inflation even more.

In a surprise move, 8 producers led by KSA & RU laid out a detailed plan to gradually phase out 2.2M bpd of prod. cuts from Oct 2024 thru Sept 2025, meaning oil supply will start increasing in the fourth quarter of this year.

You can't gulp down scalding hot coffee -- no matter how much of a hurry you're in, you have to either slowly sip and savor, or set the cup aside until it cools down.

Morning coffee is a welcoming opportunity to slowly sip and savor morning itself, to give ourselves a moment -- brief or prolonged -- to wake up, along with the day, calmly.

You are with friends in a forest at night. It is winter & snow covers the ground.

Wolves growl just beyond the faint light of your candles.

You are cold, hungry, & afraid.

You discover a wooden summer house in a glade. It is open & well-stocked.

Safety.

Then one of your friends runs inside, locks the door, & eats all the food.

Another sets fire to the house & dances joyfully in the warmth.

Sparks fly & ignite the trees.

You are hot, hungry, & afraid.
