hartreefox.bsky.social @hartreefox.bsky.social · 25/06/2026The initial reports of the pair of earthquakes in Venezuela sound very very bad. We have video from Caracas, but that is 100 miles away from the epicenter. There are collapsed buildings there and closer to the epicenter it will be far worse. 110
hartreefox.bsky.social @hartreefox.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Now that we have the possibility of removing sanctions on Iranian oil and gas due to the peace deal, I expect there to be renewed interest in the proposed Russia to Iran gas pipeline and perhaps for the older idea of an oil pipeline. I also expect more trans-shipment of Russian oil via the Caspian. 110

hartreefox.bsky.social @hartreefox.bsky.social · 12/04/2026The Iranians partially blockaded the Strait of Hormuz. So now, the US will blockade the Strait of Hormuz. I guess this is an application of the age old strategy of "If you can't beat them, plagiarize from them." 120

hartreefox.bsky.social @hartreefox.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Well, you got the donut spare replaced with the new tire. It did, however, take three tries. First the scissor jack digging into the mud and the car nearly falling (remedied by a handy piece of OSB) and the jack breaking through the jacking point on the frame due to rust. - (but, wait. There's more) 210
