I can tell you from a call yesterday that crops are not rotting in the 
field due to lack of labor.  They are rotting because people are still 
afraid of some salad crops.  They are just not moving in some markets.

How many of us are willing to forego winter salads?

Time to stop and read "The Party's Over" by Richard Heinberg.  He talks to 
the oil geologists rather than the the politicians and industry managers to 
get a very dismal picture of the world's oil supply.  He is showing that 
Peak Oil may have already occurred for the world and if not, more than 
likely within this decade.  Peak oil discovery was in the 1960s, 40 years 
ago.  Meanwhile oil consumption has increased in almost every year and new 
economic power houses such as India and China are clamoring for the same 
lifestyle we show on TV.

You know, if that last statement were true, regarding corruption, there would 
not have been an incumbent re-elected.

Subject: Re: [Homestead] Raising gas prices


The day before the election, I paid $1.98 per gallon here. At 4:30 am,
the day after the election, I paid $2.17. Coincidence? I think not. Of
course, I had cynically told everyone that the reduced gas prices
leading up to the election were a blatant attempt to steer people into
voting their pocketbook, and that the day after the election we would
see a jump. So I wasn't surprised. I'm glad folks didn't get duped by
the lower prices, though. Despite the cynical view that voters are
stupid and vote based strictly on moment-to-moment pocketbook issues,
they showed that they can take a broader view and vote based on their
view of world affairs, and corruption amongst politicians, and not on
how much this week's tank of gas will cost.
