Pinched Nerves And Oil Markets
I visited the orthopoedist today about the unusual pains that I have been experiencing in the feet, shoulder and back. He quickly diagnosed pinched nerves in the neck and back. He was kind enough to prescribe me some steroids to take for a week. But don’t worry about me exhibiting any steroid rages; I only have to take SIX of the pills tomorrow…. The doctor also recommended no heavy physical exertion until my appointment with him next week. Although many people with jobs that require heavy lifting would enjoy this doctor’s orders, I will miss my trips to the health club and the mowing of my mom’s embankment.
It is ironic that the price of crude oil would decrease by thirty dollars a barrel during this period of Nigerian civil war riots and Russian invasions of Georgia. I may have heard this incorrectly but someone said that 30% of the worlds oil gets transported through the pipeline that runs from the Black Sea, through Georgia, to the Caspian Sea. One disasterous bomb could shut this pipeline down. My heart goes out to all the people and Crafty Guitarists from the country of Georgia. I really don’t understand this invasion at all. Couldn’t Russia have simply sent troops to the breakaway republic rather than the sovereign nation ? But then again, as an American, couldn’t the U.S. have simply not invaded Iraq ? American does not have a lot of leverage in this situation.
The ligaments in my feet are hurting as well,

p.s. I just found out that the pipeline through Georgia only supplies one percent of the worlds oil, rather that the 33% that I mentioned last night. One percent is still a significant amount, nonetheless.
