Re-Tooling TBL

For several years TBL was a blog where I wrote about a wide variety of topics. Those postings are still in the Blog Archive and many are about professional development for engineers. I am now transitioning TBL to be a place where my current and former students can find information related to job searches.

Oil Use

Q. Why did gas prices drop? A. Easy, the demand for oil dropped.

Q. Why did the demand for oil drop? A. Easy, we started using less.

In my case I sold a car, spent most of my summer driving a motorcycle, and in our family we are always looking for ways to drive fewer miles. This year I installed two new electric heaters to heat my house. I will use one thousand fewer gallons of propane this winter.

I think we are all trying to reduce our oil use. I'm always looking for new ideas.

Gas prices always drop around election time. Makes the current regime seem better.
