Holiday TravelGas prices in our area are up 30%, and airfare is up 16% (according to AAA). It makes you wonder if you choose to take a long road trip to your destination instead of flying, are you really going to save a lot of money? Well, at least our wallets will get a break in one area – rental cars. AAA reports that rental car rates on average are actually down 4% from last year.

What did we do before email?I keep in touch with so many people through email. In the newsroom, we use email to get information to one another and then post it on the web for our viewers. I use email to keep in touch with my friends in cities throughout the country. It’s such an easy way to say a quick hello… confirm plans… even send a birthday card!

High Gas PricesIt’s hard to believe, but some experts say $3 a gallon for gas may soon look cheap! In fact, a top energy forecaster says gas prices could climb another 20 cents a gallon in the next month! For me, that really starts to add up… and I have a mid-size sedan. I can imagine how much it must add up for drivers who have mini-vans or SUVs.

Happy Tuesday!Hey there. Hope your week is off to a great start! Are you getting used to the time change? It always takes a little while to adjust. For me, and many others who work odd hours, it’s great because it gets dark earlier, which makes it easier to fall asleep!
