Does Not One Pause to Think?

Even as Tennessee continues to endure drought conditions, the state's Commissioner of Transportation advocates converting the nation's food supply into a fuel resource.

The Oracle is not an alarmist, but the dangers of following that path on a massive scale seem rather obvious. One bad weather year could produce both a food shortage and a fuel shortage.

In the meantime, I promised to bring some badly needed dry weather to my new home. My failure would seem to have been, uh, precipitous.
