Isn't that just human nature tho - everyone thinks the good times will never end when they are in them.

Amen...I couldn't believe how much people got paid out there. You work a 7 day week- 12 hrs on, 12 off. Most of your week is overtime. Here's something interesting I didn't put in the story. We were drilling into salt domes in La and I saw a boat come out with 5 ft casing pipe. Most is 2 ft. I asked the toolpusher what was up and he said we were drilling into the domes to store oil. We already had enough pumped into those domes to run the country for 50 years without missing a lick...and this was in 79.
