[QUOTE="Lastkidpicked, post: 95341, member: 237"] Well, well, well. Real life imitating our favorite TV show, [I]Dallas.[/I] There are two things happening right now here in Texas. The rebuilding after the Hurricane is underway and at the same time, oil prices are finally rising again. Oil company executives are handing out million dollar bonuses to each other. Every place I go has a "Now Hiring" sign. Haliburton is on the radio calling all young folks to attend their hiring fair, and if you want to work in the Texas oil fields, they will pay to relocate you. The RV dealership I drove past is looking for mechanics and offering a $5000 signing bonus. It has the same "feel" that they were able to capture in [I]Dallas[/I]. The feeling that ANYBODY (Except Ray) could strike it rich in Texas. And I will be careful not to make any political statements at all here on this friendly board, but with life imitating [I]Dallas[/I], I just have to point out: The former CEO of ExxonMobile (think Westar and Jeremy Wendel) is now our nation's Secratary of State. And his name is Rex Tillerson! How much more of a [I]Dallas[/I] oil man name can you get? Rex Tillerson! You can't make this stuff up. They might as well have named him Punk Anderson. I'm looking out my window and can't figure out if this is real-life or an episode of Dallas. Maybe I'll go to a barbeque and push somebody in the pool just to see what happens. [/QUOTE]
