The personalities at the Weather Channel have to have something to get excited about. Anyway, it didn't miss us by much; some areas nearby did get hit. It's hard to predict the exact boundaries of storms. I'm more concerned about the loss of our early summer. I got spoiled I guess.
Another excellent job of managing by Manny Acta. Go back to Washington (oh...wait...that's right, they got rid of you because you couldn't win there either)
toy: Tell that to those who ran out of benefits who are still without jobs but are no longer counted in the official stats. Things may or may not be improving slightly, so don't applaud your governor quite yet.
Gas prices were supposed to sky-rocket past $4.00 last summer and it never happened. I also remember gas being at $4.00 when Bush was in office. So neither president is to blame; they really have no control over the price except for trying to artificially lower the price. Speculators and supply/demand have driven the price higher. That's the way a free market system works in a capitalist society. It would be a disaster to markets to force prices artificially lower. We are using oil and it's products at an incredible pace, and eventually it is going to run out; thus the higher prices. Bush, Obama and whoever is next in line is powerless to stop it. They may be able to stabilize prices for a while from time to time, but high fuel prices are a speeding freight train that will inevitably keep rolling along. The Keystone pipeline and drilling in previously off-limits areas would just be a stop gap that will eventually help, but it will run out someday. That's why research for alternatives is important. Until and when alternatives are found, we are stuck with what we've got: escalating oil prices.
Congratz to the Cards for bringing home another state title to the Valley. These are all kids from the area and should be supported for their efforts. Let the whiners complain all they want about "recruiting", because that's what losers do; they don't try harder, they complain. Believe it or not, there were public schools that won championships this year. I wonder how that happened? Was it because they whined about the effort it took to become champions? No. They won because the the school, coaches, players, parents, community and boosters put in the work it takes to build a strong program. You see this year after year from public schools like Coldwater, Steubenville, Canton McKinley, etc, etc. Yes, there are only a handful of publics that become champions, but that's because becoming a champion is a rare thing that actually takes extraordinary effort and dedication by all people involved with the program. So my advice to losers is to stop whining and start working.
Congratz to the student-athletes at Mooney for your accomplishments thus far. The majority of Valley residents are pulling for you to bring another title to the area. You are winners and truly the best from the Y-town area. Let the whining minority whine, that's what losers do.
Major snow will be a no-show

RISKS AND RICHES IN THE FRACKING ERA
Trading dollars for tainted air and water. Sounds good to me. How many brownfields do we have to create before we learn our lesson?

Do you know of any unusual street names in the Valley?
Berry Blossom Drive in Canfield may not be unusual, but it sounds like it should be a street name on Desperate Houswives.
