@Barry Meislin: Manchin did not look all that happy at the signing ceremony, and that look and handshake from Biden was pretty creepy. And where was Sinema? Oh, right: hanging out with the boys from Greenwich.
We have CDs of her music. There’s a Youtube of remarkable clarity of the recording sessions at which “I’ll Never Find Another You” was produced. Cannot be topped.
The memorials to her have been issued piecemeal since her death rather than all at once. Not sure what that means.
Any ideas on why gas prices have dropped?
If the underlying factors have not changed, what’s up?
I’ll always think of Judith Durham in connection with “Georgy Girl”– here she is in London in 2003, performing the song without any backup singers and inviting the audience to join in– and the look of sheer delight on her face is as wonderful as the music:
On this near 1 year anniversary of the Afghanistan debacle, here’s a great summary of what has happened to the $7billion worth of military equipment left behind by our wonderful president. No real surprises, but it just emphasizes the CF that happened there:
“Gas prices have fallen for multiple reasons, but Americans cutting back on consumption is the major factor,” Anthony Schiavo, an analyst at Boston-based Lux Research, told The Post.
Schiavo cited government data which showed that demand for gas dropped to 8.857 million barrels per day during the four-week period that spanned July. That number is much lower than last year’s number of 9.456 million barrels per day during the same time period.
Sky-high gas prices and record levels of inflation have spurred Americans to change their driving habits, according to AAA.
Supply and Demand. Maybe Biden chastising the oil companies had some temporary effect, but we should never forget what his long term goals are and what he did to the Keystone XL Pipeline.
US crude oil production has crept back up to near the highs in early 2020, before Covid :
The switch to summer blend also affects gas prices, winter blends are more expensive to produce.
Re gas prices. U.S. refineries are running flat out at 98%. They can’t keep it up, but it has had an effect on supply. Add less demand (driving less) and some jawboning from Biden equals lower prices. We are in recession now. Prices will stay lower as long as demand doesn’t increase. Hopefully, if the GOP gets control of both House and Senate in November, the war on oil might be blunted somewhat. It’ll take a Republican president to get us out of the supply hole and get the economy rolling again.
Re gas prices , I agree with most of above . We are in a recession , in recession u get demand destruction . Car repos are way up as well, no car no gas. Next time u buy gas , check the pumps . Many will be for $5.00 worth or 3 gallons. Poor folks are getting killed by this. FJB.
Hope this is a trend.
Instead of “one size fits all”, give money to the family and let them choose a school.
re: gas prices, I’m sure there are many reasons including those given above but two reasons I’ve seen cited are
1) World economy has slowed, less demand for oil, price of oil has dropped from over $100 to somewhere in the $80’s range
2) Biden Admin has pumped substantial amounts of oil out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, causing prices to fall.
Later, they will refill the SPR with … yes … higher priced oil bought on the open market.
In media news, CNN must be desperate to shed its lefty image: Brian Stelter got the boot today and Jeffrey Toobin is leaving . . . to spend more time with himself.

Mad Scientist Launches Rocket to Mars!
Ok, maybe not this year. And the ground-breaking Space X Raptor 2 rocket engine hasn’t lifted anything into orbit yet.
NASA has spent decades and billions of dollars building the SLS rocket for the return to manned lunar missions. Turns out their mission will not include a lander. A second or third rocket will launch separately which will transport the lander.
SpaceX is one of the companies being to be considered transporting the lander, at a fraction of the cost by our government efforts. We should be thankful the government never decided to get into the car business.
It’s all pretty impressive. To the Moon and Beyond!
Thanks to all for insight on gas prices. Good, rational stuff much appreciated.

Thanks for the video.
Visited Vicksburg battleground today; Gray and rainy. Occurred to me that Union dead as a proportion of our current population would be about six and a half million. If it were allowed they died to end slavery, the burden of gratitude would be unsupportable. Thus, it .must not be addressed.
For comparison’s sake, WWII dead would be about one million dead in our current population.
I’d forgotten that both of the Seekers biggest hits, this and Georgy Girl, were both written by Dusty Springfield’s brother Tom.

Her voice was as beautiful 50 years later.
Ah, when popular singers could sing and play music …
A world of our own sounds so attractive these days.
The studio recording, as good as it gets.
