Been fortunate enough to have traveled extensively out west, much of it by motorcycle including along the Alaska Pipeline and on up to Prudoe Bay. The vast number of jobs impacted by this downturn is hard to grasp even with that so I’m sure those of you directly affected must be really knocked down. The “ripple” of all this must feel like a tidal wave to many, hope and pray the politicians make good choices over the coming weeks. Thankfully the “Green Plan” crowd in Congress don’t get a vote.
