Well, it does confirm that Dave, Cheryl, and Eboni were let go.   

I wonder if this means an increased role for Mark Mancuso...

Lowest gas in Indiana is $1.57.
Highest gas in Indiana is $1.99.

And oil is falling AGAIN...down fractionally today.
Oil was last at this level in MARCH 2005.

Okay, they are forgiven for letting Dave go.

I might actually watch an entire FE today.  Might tape it too.

Another thought:  if the WxPlus meteorologists were indeed merged into TWC, sack them.  They suck (and that's not an understatement).

I kid you not, oil is trading in electronic trading at 50.50/barrel.  And one gallon of gas on the open market (pre-tax/transportation/fees) is going for 1.03/gal.

I just read on the easternuswx forums that Cheryl Lemke, Dave Schwartz, and Dennis Smith have all been let go.

Terminate OCMs where there seemingly is an OCM shortage = no sense.

IMO, Christmas stuff can start now.  It's a week before Thanksgiving, and 35 days before the event.
