Anyone that drives a vehicle has seen the sudden drop in gas prices. And anyone that follows financial markets knows this is because of how fickle the global oil market is.

Well, I finally finished going through all the QuickPlaces removing conflict docs. This brings the QuickPlace upgrade to a close…. or does it? Well it would, but it seems that somewhere along the line the address book on our production internet server decided to play hide and seek with some of our custom design elements…
Michele Johnson’s “Flipped” trailer is starting to get the attention of the local media.
