The CHALLENGE! is do without big Arab gas/oil and their subsequent fund funneling to terror activities.

That's pretty cool. Are you considering legal action for copyright infringement?

...right on Sean! Not to mention destroying the environment. Which will probably kill us all long before terrorist activity does! The powerful oil lobby has prevented our evolution from chunky metal, gas guzzling tanks on the road. Thankfully, hybrids are finally entering the market at a visible rate. Perhaps we'll evolve even further in another few centuries! Our dependence on petroleum has kept transportation in the dinosaur age and our environment in a shambles.

It is one of the things that future generations will laugh at when discussing our times. That, and how we cruely paraded wild animals around in circuses for entertainment.

Challenge! started as an independent operation in NZ in 1998, but is now operated by ChevronTexaco.

In fact it was started by a New Zealand corporation called Fletcher Challenge Energy - hence the Challenge handle.

Hey Tom O' - hope you are still having fun in Ireland - I'm in eastern Washington now and loving it - may buy a small 2nd home in Albuquerque next year since I do business down there.

Sean - the plan to move over to Bellingham is back on track. We're going to rent out our house here in Ireland to take the pressure off of disposing our most valuable assest and will be heading over your way in May/June timeframe. I can't wait!

Bellingham or bust!

Congratulations Tom O' - Bellingham always shows up on lists of cool places to live - love the culture of Washington state.
