The black truck was the one that hit the red truck, the black truck is a full sized pickup, the red truck a small "Japanese" pick up. The black truck,s bumper probably rode up over the red truck's bumper and peeled the pickup bed up to the cab.
Assuming the deceased was in the red little pickup that is crunched clear up to the cab, have seen people killed in collisions a lot more minor than this. All it takes is for the force to drive you into something and hit something vital.
Actually those temperatures on the other side of the Rockies are record high temperatures, coupled with drought in areas. And while they in and of themself are not indications of "climate change" or "global warming", coupled with rising ocean temperatures, receding ice caps at both poles, and shrinking glaciers on all continents most all scientist agree that global warming is occuring. The only arguement left for them is whether man is causing it, or if it is natural. I tend to believe that man is one cause of it, and some may be natural, but I have no doubt that at this point in time global warming is happening. That does not mean that next year due to some natural disaster or other large event, that we might not go into a period of global cooling. And actually, one year or ten years is not enough of a time frame to give any definite statement as to long term trends in this regard.
You may not be aware, but the whole world does not revolve around Washington State. In fact, our wet June, one of the wettest on record in Eastern Washington, may actually indicate "Climate Change" which is the result of "Global Warming", which is occuring whether one believes it is caused by man, or if it is natural. That is an ominus indication when combined with what you see when you look over to the other side of the Rockies and look at the record high temperatures being recorded there.
I thought the concept of privatization was a Republican idea, don't I hear them preaching that for everything?
Not sure we are exporting more than importing, but none the less, why does every one say we need to drill more here and become energy independent. Could they be lying to us??
I'd be happier if it was down the 37 cents more to the national average. We are still paying the "West Coast Rip Off" amount.
Not sure donkjen said it clearly enough, the tax on gasoline is per gallon not per dollar, so when the price at the pump goes up, the tax the state and feds get does not go up, it remains in the same 37.5 cents per gallon. And when the prices go up we tend to drive less and use less gas, so the overall amount of taxes the state collects goes down when the price of gas goes up.
You do know that oil was cheap before Bush decided he needed to "free" Iraq, a lot cheaper than it is now. And, it is not those countries that are getting rich from the high price of oil, it is the oil companies. And you do know that the US is producing more oil and has done more drilling under Obama than under Bush. And yes, the number one export of the US this past year was refined oil products such as gasoline and diesel.
You might be spot on, they did not mention anything about a seller or second party so you might be right. I was wondering about the mechanical thing and just passed over it might have been a home repair he was testing out. In any event, another possibility.
