A strange find above: the scanned outer cover of a BP-sponsored box set of six little A. A. Milne books put out twenty years ago, including Kanga and Baby Roo Come to the Forest. The proof is in the pudding. Make your own caption.
Another strange find today: Hessian beer. Seriously. I tried a pint. It tasted better than petroleum on a late spring day, probably.
Back in the 1930s or so, German scientists figured out how to make synthetic oil. Problem is, this required vast quantities of coal as a key ingredient. Leftovers were put in stockings at Christmas time for the bad kids. Waste not, want not, you know. . . Happy Hurricane season!

Synthetic oil. Yes, necessity is the mother of invention. Or war is, or something.
Don't you love the propaganda in that image? The happy, smiling sun? Gads, it pisses me off...
Erik, I love Kanga and little Roo; however I am totally a Marathon kinda girl!
