I noticed yesterday that the Obama team has nominated James Jones as National Security Advisor. Jones sits on the Board of Chevron Corp., a seat that may give some people pause, since Chevron is a huge energy conglomerate and because oil is a big reason we are at war now in the Middle East. No doubt Mr. Jones will vacate his Board seat before taking his new one in the White House.
Meanwhile back on the oil-using side of the equation, our old Subaru needs an oil change. It's needed one for quite some time. Since August really. But when the oil light came on last time an oil change was preempted when our auto mechanic added oil when he saw it was low. Not this time. The oil indicator light has gone on again. No doubt prompted by the hundreds of miles put on traveling to and from Pennsylvania this past weekend. So Kate will arrange for a complete oil do-over. Drain the oil. Change the filter. Replace the gooey oil with new, clean oil. From the Middle East no doubt. Maybe even from a Chevron subsidiary.
Just doing our part for the cause.

About Me
- Mark Gorman
- I was born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, along the banks of the Susquehanna River, in the valley made up by Bald Eagle Mountain to the south, and gentle hills and valleys to the north. That place that sheltered me, gave me food and friends, and both physical and spiritual nourishment for 18 years. That is the space where I was physically and emotionally formed. Ever since growing up there . . . because of growing up there . . . I have been inexorably linked to nature . . . to the earth and to all life.
