To watch Djokovic now is to see one of the world's most obstinately enduring athletes in action. He covers the tennis court with almost robotic efficiency, always two steps ahead of his flagging opponents. Back then, it was Djokovic who felt unusually jaded. On several occasions, in the heat of arduous matches, he even called for medical breaks out of fear...

Kansas oil companies scramble to increase production, but 'there is no spigot'
Scott Canon
An oil pump jack in Kansas.
Skyrocketing gas prices have everyone from independent truck drivers to the U.S. energy secretary demanding that oil companies ramp up production. They'd like to and they're trying to, but it's just not that easy.
To understand why oil prices are high today, you have to go back two years, to the early days of the pandemic.
Oil prices hit the floor in April 2020. In fact, they fell right through the floor. For a while, oil producers had to pay companies to take oil off their hands. One day, the price in Kansas even hit a negative $47 a barrel.
Some small oil companies went under. In Kansas alone, companies took almost 5,000 wells off-line and production plummeted.
But between then and now, the price of oil has increased about $160 a barrel.
"It's probably the most dramatic price swing in the history of the oil business," said Mickey Thompson, past president of the Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association. "And that's not good for anybody."
There is no spigot
With the ban on Russian oil imports, domestic crude is now selling for about $110 a barrel. That, of course, isn't good for consumers, who've seen gasoline prices break records.
The pain falls especially hard on lower-income workers, who often drive older cars miles to work each day and spend more of their paychecks filling their tanks. It's sparked demands from fossil fuel users and politicians to get more domestic oil to consumers — as if oil companies can just turn the flow back on.
"There is no spigot," Thompson said. "Wells capable of producing crude oil and natural gas in this country are producing at close to maximum capacity."
But oil companies, especially smaller ones, are having a tough time expanding production.
"They're having trouble getting pipe. They're having trouble with transportation. They're having trouble finding crews," said Dan Naatz, executive vice president of the Independent Petroleum Association of America.
Oil companies have been trying to scale up for months now, and that's made basic supplies of the trade, like piping, both scarce and expensive. And pandemic-related shipping problems have made just getting supplies from factories to the oil fields a major obstacle. On top of that, there's a labor shortage.
"Labor challenges are at the top of the list," said Ed Cross, president of the Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association.
Small oil Kansas companies cut as much as a quarter of their employees in the lean days of 2020, Cross said. Those are skilled, technical, often physically demanding jobs, so staffing up again is another major hurdle.
"It's a busy time and we're seeing production starting to recover, but we're a long way from where we were before the COVID pandemic," Cross said.
In Kansas, production is down almost 16% from 2019, when gas and oil prices were much lower. It's hard to predict how long it will take just to get back to 2019 domestic oil production levels, but most of the experts say that won't happen until next year, at best.
Meantime, Thompson said, consumers and politicians are going to have to show some patience as everyone tries to work through the next few months.
"You need to understand that nobody in this country, nobody — not the oil and gas industry, not the federal government, not the regulators, not the banks — nobody's the enemy on this deal," Thompson said.
"Putin is the enemy and he and his army and his military are creating the situation," he added. "And we need to offer some grace to ourselves and our neighbors and people who are doing the best they can to alleviate the pain."

I am here to share the collective story of humanity. Every single person we meet and greet has a story that defines them.
I spent my birthday weekend with my BFF in Maryland and thought it was a perfect opportunity to get her in front of my camera to tell her story. People are so interesting. Life experiences shape us and mold us into who we are in every moment. I know her very well - her hurts, her trials, her childhood, her broken hearts, her joys, her triumphs. I know how far she's come and the hurdles she's overcome to get to where she is. It is no small feat. We have all traveled tough roads. The way we overcome the trials and elevate ourselves is to be celebrated.
I will always see the best in people, at least I will always strive for that. When I hear someone's story, even if it's painful, I see how it has changed them and made them better. Even my own story of my life is fraught with broken hearts and yet, everyday I want to love and be loved. A broken heart will never stop me from giving love. And the energy that comes when you meet someone special cannot be manufactured. It's either there or it's not.
I am, without apology, a hopeless romantic.
I believe that everything is beautiful and everything has purpose.
I believe that people are good.
I believe that everyone is capable of doing everything their heart desires.
I believe that the hurt we experience pushes us to be better and more compassionate.
I believe that love is every human soul's deepest desire.
I believe that love will find me again. Whole and complete.
And though I miss the loves that have left my life, I anticipate the beauty of the love that waits for me, that is searching for me too. The most beautiful sentiment I received on my birthday was posted on my FaceBook page.
"Happiest Birthday to this Tender Roni!
how to be fearless in love."
Tender Roni was my "thing" in high school. I was a Bobby Brown fan and I used to say, "My name is Roni, Bobby's heart belongs to me." I would write it all over my school books and all my doodling from high school. But her perception of me... that I am teaching people to be fearless in LOVE. That's me! All day!
I cannot say if my current love interest will break my heart tomorrow or in 13 years (like my ex did) but I am fearless. I am not afraid of the broken heart that may come in the future because I am going to cherish every single moment for as long as he will be mine. And I will not stop my heart from feeling the way that it does because he might break it in the future. No. I choose happiness now, without fear, without apology. And if this happiness extends into forever then so be it. Whatever troubles may come our way, I am fearless and I will stand by him through every storm and every joy. Love is!
