Rev. Kevin Gillespie filled his regular appointment at the Burning Springs M. E. Church. He stressed that equity was important.
There were 262 riders on the Creston ATV Poker Run. The community would like to that all that came, the merchants that donated items for door prizes, those that baked all the pies & cakes, made the sauce ,cooked & served the food, mailed the cards, signed up the riders, sold tee shirts, quilt chances, 50/50 chances, laid out, marked the route and then picked up all the ribbons & signs and everything else that goes into having a successful community event. Karey Hall was first followed by Tom Weaver & Jennifer Layne. Jerry Miller won the 50/50. The ride was over the river and through the woods. The riders got to experience Munday Beach. While the elites go to Miami Beach & Myrtle Beach or perhaps Pismo Beach or Pebble Beach, Calhoun County has Munday Beach. They then went up Lower Leading Creek where, apparently, one couple missed a curve near the Argil Jones residence & went airborne. It was reported that resulted in a helicopter trip. The ride crossed the historic Burning S[rings Anticline and riders got to see some of the thousands of big saw logs that Dimbulb, the DNR boss allowed to rot, just to show that he could. In a just society he would have to pay for the value of the logs from his salary and/or from his lucrative state retirement. Little trees were planted in the “naturalized area” and it would appear that the deer consider them tasty. Riders on the trail likely saw many deer & other game and while setting up the route, walking sticks were observed. Some riders experienced breakdowns & a few got stuck &had to be winched.
Cap’n Eddie Norman went up to Morgantown to get a new battery for his pacemaker but he “got to stay for a visit”.
Ted Grim was calling on Charles Russell at the Minnie Hamilton Extended Care unit. Charles was among those from there who attended the Molasses Festival in Arnoldsburg.
The Wirt road crew was mowing the berms on Creston area roads.
Alvin Engelke still has some loveable kittens that need new homes. Some of the felines from Gary Dickens’ neighborhood visited with the ATV riders just to show how beautiful & loveable they were. They were not intimidated by canines.
Some local folks attended the SOOGA trade show in Marietta to learn what is new in the oil patch. I was learned that Dominion sold to Enbridge and that the status of contracts presently remain unknown.
The Washington County Ohio [Marietta] sheriff talked about the drug problem & he noted “the [Mexican] drug cartels are here”. He stated that the border is open and unlimited supplies are coming into the nation. He also stated that the BIG money people are pushing drug legalization looking for huge profits. He said one should look at Oregon & Colorado and note the results, especially with the youth.
The Enlink crew from Brooksville were busy at the 811 training session that evening. They were handing out the famous Enlink hot sauce. Enlink hauls crude oil &puts it in a pipeline at Brooksville and sends it to Eureka in Pleasants County where it is loaded onto Barges to go to the refinery.
The government stink bugs have returned moving into homes to spend the winter. It was observed that they ignore UV lamps that attract ordinary insects.
Enverus Intelligence Research has determined that there is a far greater reserve of hydrocarbons in the Utica as opposed to the Marcellus for those who do long range planning. In the Creston area there might be 100 feet of Marcellus but there is 1100 feet of Utica.
Wilma & Kim Mowrey attended a family gathering up on the West For.
John Heintz Kerry’s daughter said that the government should “mentally prepare the people for the “culling” of billions worldwide so the elite, like her, can continue with the Kerry lifestyle. Klaus Schwab’s WEF [World Economic Forum] said that the population needs to be reduced by 86% by 2030 (in 7 years) & that genocide is “inevitable”.
Along those lines data provided by the government of Canada, when analyzed honestly shows that 74% of triple vaccinated residents now have VAIDS (Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). It seems that the injected m-rna does not ever go away.
The ruling elites continue to push for the digital currency and the abolition of cash. For certain there would be no more events like poker runs, benefits, Molasses Festivals or yard sales if such came to pass. Nigeria had 100% digital money even though an election said 99.5% were opposed but the government there had to tell the WEF, sorry but the domestic turmoil made us have currency again. We need to stop such nefarious dealings now, not later. As they say “Elections have consequences.”
The Murdoch family [Fox News] announced that they are supporting Jim Justice, the financially strapped coal baron to be the opponent to Broadway Joe or Maserati Joe as he is called down in the Lower Potomac Swamp. Manchin said, for a meeting in Erie Pennsylvania that his IRA [so called inflation reduction act but actually the green new deal] is a “wonderful thing.” The law makes it a crime to have a natural gas leak [save the planet] but the same government blew up the Russian pipelines sending natural gas to Germany and caused the greatest release of methane in the history of the planet and “that was fine”.
It was reported that Doug Meadows has been on the sick list.
Japanese stilt grass is now blooming so it needs to be pulled out by the roots to keep from reseeding.
Nancy Wright who had been helping her sister Linda move is heading back to her home in Florida.
Local folks participated in and dined at the Wirt County FFA beef barbecue. Next weekend it is Pioneer Days.
Last year natural gas sometimes sold for $30/MMBTU in Europe & the average price [there] was $9.54. Presently the Henry Hub price is $2.94 but gas sold from Owl Hill was just 19cents/MMBTU. Some of the shale drillers hedged their natural gas for $3.35. It will be interesting to see if they pay taxes & royalties based on that price.
The price of local Pennsylvania grade crude oil is $89.79/bbl. with condensate fetching$71.79/bbl. with Marcellus & Utica light bringing $80.79 & medium $89.79/bbl.
