hmmm...this is interesting

As in...oh fuck....get ready for some interesting historical events to happen....because the Burgan Oil Field (it's the second largest oil field in the world) has passed it's peak and is now in decline

I kind of hope I can finish my Ph.d before all hell breaks loose. I don't care if I'm teaching in a one-room school house with a wood-burning stove in the back later, but for now just let me please get this out of the way?

I guess this also means I'm going to have to learn to ride a horse unless a miracle happens. Which - ya know - does not appear likely at this late date and with leaders as incompetent as ours currently are
