I have no idea of how they got there.

Financial, accounting and legal professionals can only dream of making the kind of money that is made by those in the O&G business.

Most of those working on drill rigs earn far more than the average in the professions you have referred to.

Good Morning!! Nope just been catching up with it all on the web though, pretty expected to be honest! It is kinda typical of the 'quick to bite' behaviour I saw in van when things don't go their way, the best flair up I witnessed was over a bagel once!

Hope you are safe and sound in your apartment? Has it calmed down at all?
