Some End of Week Thoughts

1. With oil at $35/barrel why has the price of gasoline in maine stalled at $1.71. The last time oil was this price, gas was $1.25/gal.
2. From a buyer standpoint it seems that immigrants are leading the way for business acquisitions. "Regular" Americans that I talk to do just don't want to work--and certainly not blue collar jobs. Most are looking for a business that they can have someone manage while they collect pay.
3. I'm on Facebook after years of having various myspace accounts. It's nice to reconnect with old friends.
4. I wonder every year, at about this time, why I'm still in Maine! Cold winters are just miserable. But then, like every year, spring, summer and fall make me wonder why I would want to be anywhere else.
5. Reading LeCarre's George Smiley stories. Pretty dry so far.
6. Lots of small boutique shops closing in the Old Port.
7. Pondering a reunion of old NECN staff....
