Welcome back to LOJ blog! Today, by the command of our guide, we need to learn about petroleum. The Persian Gulf is a place where a lot of petroleum mining (Digging? Farming? Drilling?)is happening.
Just as a fun fact, petroleum no only comes in heavy and light, it also comes in sour and sweet! And no, we did not get to taste any petroleum (I wouldn't even if it was the only thing we could eat for a month!!!!!) Light petroleum has low density and heavy petroleum has high density. Sour petroleum has a lot of sulfur and sweet has just a little (I bet they tasted it).
In case you didn't know, petroleum is also known as rock oil and is used as fuel. It is also, sadly, a non-renewable resource, so whenever you drive your car YOU ARE WAISTING THINGS THAT MAKE PEOPLE MONEY!!!!! DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then again, if you never drive your car, you don't make them money at all...
Anyway, by non-renewable resource, I mean that if we use it up, it is GONE. LOST. NEVER COMING BACK. Well, I guess it will come back, but that will be in a long, long, LONG time.
Saudi Arabia has the most oil reserves in all of the Middle East and a TON more than the U.S. They have 262.3 oil reserves which makes you feel kinda sad for Jordan and Israel, places that are oil-dry!!!! I think that they need a hug. Poor countries! They have no thick money-making delicious (Hey, who doesn't want to drink sweet stuff? They didn't let us when we learned about the oil, though. Must be too expensive to spare on tourists.) brown oil!!!!!!!
Okay, before I go completely crazy on you I'd probably better go. I think Olivia will be posting next, so be nice to her!!!

Awesome post again!!! Go over the part on light and heavy oil though as I think you made a mistake. I love the creativity and the way you work the facts into the story. Also keep an eye on spelling.
