Oil and water

Let's unite and rise above the oil crisis

- 

When it rains, it pours. Such as, when it rains bombs and bullets in the Middle East, oil prices elsewhere in the world rise as surely as the sun in summer.

The days are getting warmer, the chilly nights are getting shorter. And all I can think about are how much we will be paying for fuel for the car and electricity for the aircon. I can go without airconditioning at night, but I cannot say the same for my housemates.

Unlike the younger generation who seem to have been conceived in a cooler clime, their elders need less adjusting to the summer heat — or is that an oil and water metaphor?
