Speaking of which...

I'm not quite an hour into "There Will Be Blood," the Daniel Day-Lewis starring film about the birth of the oil industry.  Fookin' Brilliant.  The parallels to the birth of the wildcattin' wind industry are spooky. Seems to be much to learn here, to understand, the connection with money and power and deceit.

J, it's not a family film, but a great vacation evening is in store for you...

and all.  (No spoilers please.)

It probably just means that one news item is a few hours later than the other. I regularly see articles on CNN about why the dollar has gone up, just after it fell, and vice versa. That's what happens when you have to give plausible-sounding explanations to very short-term movements.

Please ignore my previous comment - I confused the item on the Canadian dollar with the U.S. one...
