well...I happen to know you Steph. I kept in touch with some friends in the Totally spies forums.

Thanks for the news item, the world needs more oil than ever and the price of oil climbed again to over $4.50 a gallon in Southern Cal. The problem is whenever high driving demand occurs, the price increases.

There used to be oil refineries in the southern California coasts (i.e. Santa Barbara, Ventura, Long Beach, etc.) and within the city limits of L.A., one reason for the founding of Beverly Hills in the 1930s. I heard their high school has 2 pumps in shape of palm trees in the campus (still there?).

With the way Michigan's economy has been battered, they definitely need something good going on there. I hope this does happen.
