Truckers Slow Down To Protest Fuel Prices

Truck Drivers Block Freeway Traffic Across the U.S. to Protest Soaring Fuel Prices | AlterNet

Nice article about how truckers banded together to show their anger with regards to rising prices of fuel by slowing down to 20 mph on the interstates.

In this article it mentions that they (the truckers who organized the protests) want a reduction in the price of diesel fuel, an investigation into oil companies, and the release of government fuel reserves.

Yes an investigation, I feel, is in order. I disagree with the request of releasing the reserves though.

Have I really been away from blogging this long?

I guess I've been distracted. Hard to believe I've let this website sit inactive for so long. I hope to make more frequent posts again soon. Only thing I've done here today, apart from this post of course, is to add a link to Fallen Sword.
