Sorry about the typo. The word "drowing" should have been "crowing". That's what happens when I try to type faster than I should.
Ten lashes with a wet noodle for that error! If you wish to simply make the correction for me, without inserting this message, that's fine with me.
Oh, and I stand by what I said about the Burj Dubai. Wonderful accomplishment!

Regardless of the poor character (and use of profanity) of people such as Tim Giachetti, this is truly a remarkable achievement. I'm sure that if this were being built in the USA, Tim would probably be drowing about it!
As for the cost of gas, anyone who thinks it's totally in the hands of the oil companies has GOT to learn some facts! Oil companies have to pay for the crude petroleum before they can refine it (another cost). When the Arab oil barons start running up oil to the price of $140 per barrel (for a 55 gallon drum), a simple hand calculator will tell you that it's an expensive proposition. If oil companies don't have the cash, they've got to borrow it in order to buy the crude. This raises the price per gallon still higher. And let us remember that oil companies, just like your local grocery store, are entitled to a return on their monetary investments.
So let's stop griping about the cost of a gallon of gasoline, and once again offer congratulations to the city of Dubai for their remarkable accomplishment in erecting the Burj Dubai.
