I feel remiss because I wasn't here to give you your weekly outlook on Monday morning, but that's because I was in Baltimore at a conference for the Society of American Business Editors and Writers learning all about how to write better business stories.

Week in Biz: Gas, gas and more gas

| | Comments (2)

Hello, hello happy people. It's almost 5 p.m. on Friday and that minutes we're minutes away from celebrating the weekend.

But before you head out, here's your round-up of what happened this week in the business world. It deals a lot with gas and oil.

Oil prices rose.

People are cashing in their grocery points to save money.

The Pres. says the rebates checks will boost economy (I'll believe it when I see it.)

They ran some drills to make sure people knew what to do in case of an emergency at Peach Bottom. For results see tomorrow's paper. (I hope they did well, I can imagine a nuclear meltdown would not be fun.)

And in kind of random news, the owners of Arby's bought Wendy's. I'm not sure what that means for the fast food industry, I just thought it was interesting.

Also this week was Earth Day and Hillary won the primary.

Tomorrow is tax day for all you last-minute filers out there. I hope you get to the post office early because when I stopped by the branch on White Street this morning, the line was long already.
