I received some bad news recently when told by several readers that they were getting dozens of -- in one case 107 -- emails in a span of a couple minutes sent by the new software we've installed to manage subscriptions for our new membership site.

It's starts at 6:10 AM. if you are in the Comcast viewing area, you might want to check us out.

I also have radio interviews tomorrow, Wednesday morning on WSJS, in the Winston/Salem, Greensboro triad at 9:35 with JR Snider, and later, with Ron Ross in Bloomington, IL (WJBC) at 11:10.

Next Monday you can catch me on KWNA in Nevada at 10:10 AM with Rod Williams.

All these radio hosts want to hear about the 5 Silver Linings of High Gas Prices. (I guess I should add a story to the site with these 5 optimistic takes on oil prices...
