How do YOU pronounce Oklahoma?

Here is another amusing email I received today.

How do YOU pronounce Oklahoma?

Do you think it’s correct?

There is a right way and a wrong way to pronounce Oklahoma.

The proper way is: OKLA…HOMA

There is a gap between the “a” and the “h”

I can prove it.

okla-homa

U.S. Cash For Clunkers – Made Cents?

September 10th, 2009 Comments off

I receive emails from time to time that stop and make me think. Here is one below.

A vehicle at 15 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 800 gallons a year of gasoline.

A vehicle at 25 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 480 gallons a year.

So, the average clunker transaction will reduce US gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year.

They claim 700,000 vehicles – so that’s 224 million gallons / year.

That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil.

5 million barrels of oil is about ¼ of one day’s US consumption.

And, 5 million barrels of oil costs about $350 million dollars at $75/bbl.

So, we all contributed to spending $3 billion to save $350 million?

How good a deal was that ???

They’ll probably do a great job with health care though!!!
