Emmitt Smith, from Escambia HS in Pensacola,Florida, was highlighted in Parade Magazine. I still remember reading his mini-profile in the Faces in the Crowd section for his HS career. We lived at Eglin AFB when I was younger. Pensacola was the nearest big town. Not sure if they even had ratings back then, but he wouldn't have been a 3*. -
Sorry I provoked you to have to post that. Apologies.

James Cross? LBJ's Air Force One Pilot? I went to HS with his kids. My father used to fly "space available" on the weekly LBJ mail run between Andrews & Bergstrom. Did he do a waste dump over Taylor, or something? 🙂

Which regime, ours, theirs, or both?

There is one oil market in the world. ~ 100 Million BPD is produced and consumed. If the supply is cut by 20 Million BPD, you have 100 Million of demand chasing 80 MM of supply. Everybody gets fucked, except the producers. Everybody. The US is an exception. We are a "net producer", good for the US producers. BUT, and that is a big BUT, the US exports a lot of the lighter grade sweet oil produced from the shale plays, and it imports a similar quantity of the heavier, sour oil that is the preferred feedstock for the US refining industry, which was retrofitted 20 years ago to produce transportation fuels; gasoline, diesel and jet fuel from the bottom of the barrel oil production. In the event of a Strait shutdown, the imported oil will come at an inflated world price, and gasoline and diesel prices will rise proportionally, which kicks the US economy square in the nuts. World Class tankers are 2-3 million bbl capacity, ~ $160-$250,000,000/per load. And you worry about auto and home insurance. IMO, If Iran wants to start some real fuckery, the Strait is it. Light one tanker up, and everybody is in the game. Iran gets creamed in the process, bombed to the stone age, but everybody will pay for it for a while. The prices always go up a hell of a lot faster than they come down. Prudent refiners will secure long term supply under long term contracts, and prices won't come back down until the long term contracts expire. I think Iran follows previous actions, tells the parties that be in advance, they are going to make some face-saving response, but behind the closed doors, they push away from the table, and ... there is not a reasonable mind within a sniff of the table.

Ships collide in Hormuz Strait in shadow of Israel-Iran war British security firm Ambrey says the incident involving an oil tanker was not security related. Published On 17 Jun 2025 Two oil tankers have collided in the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most critical oil checkpoint just off the coast of Iran. British maritime security monitor Ambrey said that the collision on Tuesday of the Adalynn and the Front Eagle is “not security-related,” despite the proximity of the accident to the war raging between Israel and Iran and concerns over its impact on navigation. Shipping company Frontline said a fire was extinguished on the Front Eagle tanker, 15 nautical miles (28km) off the UAE’s Gulf of Oman coast. It added that no pollution had been detected. The United Arab Emirates coastguard said it had evacuated 24 people from the Adalynn oil tanker. The Front Eagle was loaded with 2 million barrels of Iraqi crude oil and was en route to Zhoushan in China, according to monitoring service TankerTrackers.com. The Adalynn, a Suezmax-class tanker owned by India-based Global Shipping Holding Ltd, had no cargo and was sailing towards the Suez Canal in Egypt, the monitoring service said.

The Iranian Revolution spooled up the year I graduated. I have no first hand knowledge of any those sweet things. I'm betting everybody was much happier.

I agree with this. Watch the first 3 minutes of Argo. The world has changed a lot since 1979. America does't have anywhere near the influence, and a lot of countries have a lot of money = influence. I'm not offering any endorsement or criticism of anybody, but Iran migrating towards a Qatari/Emirates mindset would make the world a much better place. As Charliie Wilson opined, "You think they might be a lot happier over there if they could just get women and booze in the same room at the same time?"

I agree. Israel will finish this, while they have the chance, and while the rest of the world waits (and quietly supports). From the Bullock Musuem,
