[AT] OT Gas prices new all time high :-(

[charlie hill]

Cecil I'm right there with you, almost out of cash and no work to do.   What 
work is out there is going dirt cheap.  Cheaper than I can do it and even 
hope to make a profit.

Problem is by the time all these big players get their money back or lost.
Us small guys will be out of business and bankrupt.  I will have to sell off
equipment to make fuel bills.  Insurance is going sky high.  There is a
limit to what can be sold, scrapped, etc before it is all gone.  I spent
over 40 years building this and will lose it due to some big shots on wall
street.
