From the Creaux's Nest

Rainstorms were all around last week but none reached us. I didn’t get a drop. A chance of rain is forecasted later this week. There’s a 70 percent chance we won’t get any. *****Oil by the barrel has dropped by $9, yet it’s not reflected at the pump. Seven in ten Americans say the high cost of fuel is causing financial hardship. I believe gas prices have peaked. I predicted gas prices would drop and I still believe that. However, oil companies are acting way too slow after oil drops to come down on gasoline. Profits keep rising and the congress is not willing to put their feet to the fire. *****All the world problems mean nothing to those poor folks who are getting flooded out of their homes or the folks trying to recover from all the damage done by tornados and 239 deaths in Alabama. The loss in Louisiana from the Mississippi River will be far more devastating to farm lands and the Atchafalaya River Basin than you can imagine. Even the crawfish industry will be destroyed. We really don’t have a right to complain. Many of those people will never see their homes again. The land they were raised on and farmed will be years recovering. We should all count our blessings. Our problems, no rain, etc. are just a drop in a flood of problems. Come along, it won’t do you no harm.

When Donald Trump made waves again about running for president, we said he wouldn’t, that it was his usual four-year stunt. He took off with a bang then came the slam he took at the Correspondents Dinner. President Obama produced his birth certificate then killed Bin Laden. Trump was forgotten. He was never serious about running, just self -promoting, which he’s good at. He couldn’t win. Also, a couple of months ago we said Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee would not run because they would be giving up too much money and couldn’t win. Preacher Huckabee never before has made real money like he’s making with FOX News now. He’s building his first big new home, plus he’s smart enough to know that after Bin Laden, the odds turned heavy toward Obama. Another thing to look for now that Newt Gingrich has jumped in the hot water is that he will spend time in Texas and leave the impression that Rick Perry is his choice for vice-president. Perry wants to be a vice president, that’s why he is not raising taxes but is passing the burden onto local governments, schools and tripling fees.
