Will $6.00 Diesel fuel kill the RV industry? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I own a 2018 diesel truck which delivers 22 mpg solo and about 12 mpg when towing my trailer. I use it with up to six people (small grandkids) on board and it’s a relatively economical way to travel and overnight. Far cheaper ,and in fact, more environmentally friendly than that same group traveling by air and staying in motels. But my last trip to California was at $3.00 per gallon with my discount cards and about $4.00 per gallon in California. I just can’t see traveling at $6.00 per gallon, a
The Third Front in the Great Middle East War (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Russia currently is the major supplier of weapons and drone electronics for Iran. They also provide intelligence including satellite imaging for Iranian targeting and assist in the Iranian shut down of t
Why did our logistics fail in the Iran War? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Several stories and comments about the Iran War have focused on the necessity of good logistics and the failure of logistics in the Iran War. After reading several sources including the WAPO, the NT Times and a ton of internet posts, I have begun to get a handle on just what failed.

In Bush’s case it was Cheney’s in house intelligence and the Iranian agent who was cl
