Recent trends show gas prices dropping in this area. A couple places I pass on the way to work have dropped from the $3.94-$3.99 range to $3.74-$3.84.

Gas is dropping a bit here too, but we still pay about 4.18- damn NY taxes

I talked to a colleague and she said her patient numbers are down 22%. She is a PA in a family practice. Sad when the health of people suffer.

These are old dinosaurs, nobody wants them any more. But yeah, there is some money there. Cost 700.00 just to change the tire on the loader last week (just the changing part, we used our own spare)

Kind of an open pit mine, the crystals are in holes in the dolomitic limestone.
