Economy finally exiting its funk

News

Well today was a big day for the economy. Oil dropped nearly $3 a barrel and is now at its 7 week low of $122. They say once it goes below $120 it should cruise down to $100. There was a 5.4 earthquake that hit California today around noon. There was no major damage but this is a reminder that the big one is still out there. I dont know if anybody watches the news anymore but Edie Huggins from nbc10 died today after a lengthy illness. Also, Bennigans filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy today and will shut its doors.

Sports

Well the Phillies seem to be back on pace they won their 3rd in a row tonight and are now only a half game out of first. The Eagles are now at Lehigh University at summer camp its that time of year again football starts this Sunday with the hall of fame game. I think this will be a very succesful year for the birds.

Politics

I have realclearpolitics.com in my favorite places and check it at least 5 times a day. The site shows about 6 of the biggest polls in the presidential election and averages it out. This was the first time I have seen McCain lead in any of the polls. He is now only trailing Obama in the average of all 6 polls by 2.5%. I cant wait to see who each of them picks for their VP that actually might make a difference this year.

Weather

There is approx. 31 days left untill Sept. and I CANNOT wait I cant stand this weather and its supposed to get much worse this weekend with temps into the upper 90's. I cant wait to see what kind of storms will be rolling in early next week to break this weather pattern. This has been a very violent season for storms around here.

Well I will be going for now. Have a great day.
