Tip on pumping gas

TIPS ON PUMPING GAS (Good information)
I don't know what you guys are paying for gasoline.... but here in California we are also paying higher, up to $3.50 per gallon. But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every gallon..

Here at the Kinder Morgan Pipeline where I work in San Jose, CA we deliver about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline. One day is diesel the next day is jet fuel, and gasoline, regular and
premium grades.
We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000
gallons.

Only buy or f ill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role. A 1-degree rise in
temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.

When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on
low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank along with your money.

One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tankis HALF FULL or HALF EMPTY. The reason for this is, the more gas you have in
your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation. Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature
compensated so that every gallon is actually the exact amount.

Another reminder, if the re is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up--most likely the
gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

Hope this will help you get the most value for your money.

Floyd Westerman - A Tribute to Johnny Cash

Floyd Westerman

Indigenous in the News Featured Artist Review

- A Tribute to Johnny Cash

I am reminded of choirs that maybe don't look like much. A rag tag potpourri of unkept promises and unrealized dreams until they sing. And they sing like nothing I've ever heard before. I weep. I am so moved by all of it that I weep as the singers weep and sing like angels weep when the spring rains have come and everything is new again. That's what Uncle Floyd is doing for us here. It is immense and amazing. A tear wells up in the corner of my eye as I listen to it song by song.

Something that I don't have much call to talk about is vocal range but I have that opportunity now because there is very little for a baritone and there aren't any baritones quite like Johnny Cash and Floyd Westerman. This is a fantastic CD to add to your collection of Floyd's stuff and a real high point in a career that is an honor song to the joy of music.

To start, I love the intro to Ring Of Fire. This is some very nice work. A lot of care went into the crafting of this song. This trac is followed by the truthful grief of Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down. Through the squeezebox, I feel the pain. The only way to sing this song and mean it is to have lived it. Yeah.

After the absolutely gritty tough luck story of Give My Love To Rose he moves into the even tougher luck story of San Quentin. In this song, as well as the country rock Folsom Prison Blues, Johnny Cash, inspired by his own prison term, gets down and dirty for real. These songs more than any other elevate Johnny to Living Legend status and Floyd does wonderfully respectful renditions of both of them.

In the incredibly romantic and beautiful crying in your beer song, I Still Miss Some One, Floyd sings like he has a tender spot in his heart for these feelings.

Floyd ends A Tribute with the song Drums, a song from a Native American's point of view. Johnny Cash's commitment to Native causes is reflected powerfully in Floyd's rendition of the song. This is a very meaningful cut on the CD. Here is an opportunity for white people to hear an alternative view of this reality in a song that carries Floyd's stamp of authenticity.

In a strict sense, Floyd "Red Crow" Westerman is a troubadour. He carries his Tennessee Flat Box Top with him wherever he goes and Floyd is nothing if not well traveled.

Kris Kristofferson says, "I Think Johnny Cash would be especially proud of this tribute album. Not just because of his high regard for Floyd Red Crow Westerman or his own life-long identification with Native Americans and commitment to their cause, but because it is such a respectful, loving portrayal of the man's work. Floyd's deep, powerful voice resonates with the truth. I had no idea he could sound so much like John…"

This is significant because if you know Floyd, you know that he as musician, activist, and actor has been given the opportunity to hang with the heavies. You can tell he loves Johnny Cash and his work. He exhibits the exuberance of his passion for Johnny Cash whenever he sings one of his songs and this CD is no different.

The instrumentalists an A Tribute are top-notch and they obviously have the same regard for the material as Floyd. There isn't a blemish on this cd. This isn't just A Tribute to Johnny Cash but it is also, a significant declaration of someone's collective experience that also just happens to be a brother of mine. I get a warm glow in my heart every time I listen to this CD. Thank-you, my brother.

Buffalohair GANGS & TECHNOLOGICAL TOILETRIES

GANGS & TECHNOLOGICAL TOILETRIES

Recently I was asked by a colleague to look into Gangs and Gang recruitment on the internet. As I explored this story I came to realize something I’ve known all along. Since I grew up on the streets and made my bones in gangs back in the day. I have some input that I would like to share about Gangs.

All I hear is, gangs this or gangs that and how we need to stop gangs. Paleeze give me a break. First off STOPPING GANGS is nothing more than stopping a sneeze rather than stopping the cold. Gangs are not the cause but only a symptom. Gangs are only the end product of a throw away society. Gangs are where throw away people of society congregate. They are the outcasts, the misfits, the kids who are different, kids who don’t fit into some groove. They are the end product of neglect, abuse and prejudice for whatever reason. All the joy was slapped out of them at an early age for the most part and they come in all colors.

Ah but we live in the land of “Feel Good Laws and Distract-A-News”. And as usual a select group of people will soon cash in on the anti gang rhetoric that is spewing about eh. They will have an army of gang experts and garner federal funding. I can see it now; some congressman will propose a law of some kind making gangs illegal and with Gestapo’esk fashion doors will come down. These new laws will side step any and all civil rights such as the Miranda protocols, all for the greater good of society. Only tiny drawback will be the repercussions as the government takes full advantage of this new loophole in civil rights laws. Of course, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights will have no bearing since America is in a coma. Ho hum, do I have to remind you about the wire taps that spy on terrorists only to be used to spy on American’s as well? Something to do with Homeland Security I do believe. Barf……

More than likely, non gang members and political sects will come under fire as well. The government will round up any and all dissidents who gather. For all intents and purposes any grouping of citizens would be construed as a gang hence they willbe considered illegal. But hey, it’s for the greater good eh. Gads, gangs flourish in prisons now. So I guess more prisons will be built, but what else is new? Rather than address why people join gangs they choose to simply throw people away. Guess there is no money in building places of higher education. It’s much easier to imprison than educate which brings us back to the core of the problem, society’s prejudices and hatred for minorities and people who simply are different. And you can bet your bippy there are lobbyists for the prison construction consortium waging war on America with stiffer laws to imprison more American’s.

Now that I’m thinking about it, did any of you ask why the feds are eliminating analog TV? Why was it so important for the feds to make this transition from analog to High Def TV? This is a no brainer since it’s all about making TV “Interactive”. In essence our televisions will be two way communications devices and it’s not simply for games and interactive televisions shows, gads you can’t be that numb eh. Just flip through the pages of George Orwell’s 1984 if you’d like a blueprint of total control of the masses by “Big Brother”. At the very least Corporate America could utilize this new data for marketing strategies. Of course the government will be able to eves drop to make sure we are good American’s. Yup Homeland Security will be the priority and the feds excuse as well.

So my PTSD’s are flaring big time. You have to remember, as a Native I’ve always lived in the land of doublespeak. As a culture we’ve had to endure many “second agendas” as well as watch our people get systematically killed off for the greater good or Manifest Destiny. Now this nation has come full circle and is consuming their own. The new color of choice is green and not the environmental kind. It makes you wonder why this nation has become so paranoid. And yup, I’ll wager it’s all about the money. It’s funny how the feds simply decided to do this without asking the public. But they did it for our greater good. Just more technological toiletries.

Buffalohair TPMS, A WALK INTO THE TECHNOLOGICAL TOILET

TPMS, A WALK INTO THE TECHNOLOGICAL TOILET While you were sleeping, again, some mucky muck politician managed to pass into federal law a mandate you might like to know about. If you bought a car after September 2007 you will notice you also have a spiffy little gadget on your dash that informs you if you have a low tire. It's called the "Tire Pressure Monitoring System" or TPMS. Kewl a nice and shiny light and or gage that warns you if you are to dumb to notice your tire is flat or low, gawd. Gosh it's a wonderful idea that can save lives you say. In all probability the law maker who passed this new requirement has interest in the company that makes these new gizmos. This reminds me of the first smog device law. A senator in California passed the new smog law back in the day. It just so happened he had interest in a company who manufactured the first smog device. No one questioned why a company would manufacture such a device before there was a demand. I was just a poop butt kid and it still sounded twisted to me. After it was all said and done and billions was spent on these devices over the years all we managed to do is convert the toxic gasses into something more vial, from carbon monoxide to sulfur dioxide, the seed of acid rain. Gads, do you remember when Motor City informed the general public that they were going to start adding plastic to their new cars? The pitch was to make cars more affordable, ha, ha, ha. Ultimately, cars got as expensive as a house, plastic and all. Yea, whatever. So now the federal government is going to save America from tire blow outs. Paleeeeeeeze! It will be the financial gift that keeps on giving. You're going to love this one eh. Little known to the general public is the fact these computer chips that will be affixed to the valve stems will require special tools when a tire needs to be fixed or replaced. In essence, these devices will cost the public billions and line the pockets of Corporate America in the long run. The cost of a new set of tires will double in price. A simple tire repair will cost near $100. Why? Because of the labor/tools these frail devices will require. Some auto manufacturers claim tires will need to be replaced by the dealers only and at a staggering price in some cases. One estimate was as high as $150 per wheel and that does not include the tire, holay. And did I mention these devices will require batteries so it can transmit this vital air pressure information to the master computer on the dash? Oh yeah eh, not only will you be charged the big bucks to change or repair a tire. You will be charged the big bucks to replace this tiny $3 battery as well. Oh boy…. Of course the feds and states are utilizing this mandate to garner more tax payers funds through penalties and fines if these devices are non functional or missing. I believe the feds may impose fines as high as $10,000 per violating wheel and surely the states will want to cash in on this new source of revenue, you bet’cha! Ah but who cares, you probably are the absolute minority in this nation who is making the big bucks in the stock market with the Magellan fund. You would be in good company with most of the political leadership in both parties. Nothing like a war based economy to keep us afloat eh. So this increase will mean nothing to you since you will sell the car before you wear out the first set of tires anyway. But whoa to the used car buyer since all of these electronic gizmos will self destruct on your shift. Has technology made this culture so stupid they can’t tell if their tire is low on air? If the federal government was truly concerned for our safety they should have issued all car owners a manual and a tire gage. But since America is asleep at the wheel I guess we reap what we sow. How far beyond stupid have we become that we cant read a tire gage, a simple $5 tool. It’s all about the money anyway, Capice?
