Paying For Your Bags!

More and more airline carriers are having to charge for checked bags.  The three biggest carriers are now having to charge $15 just for your first bag.  It doesn’t stop there, if you check a second bag it will cost you $25’s more.  These charges are related to one thing and one thing only, the record high fuel cost.  On the other hand, Southwest Airlines still will permit two check bags for free.  So if you can fly Southwest Airlines, you should, that could be a saving of $40’s.  Here’s my advice, do your research before you book that flight.  All carriers have different little fees that used do be free.

Tim Russert Meet the Press!

Breaking News – Tim Russert, the moderator of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” died Friday of an apparent heart attack.  He was only 58 years young.  I loved watching his show Meet The Press.  Tim would never hold back, he always would ask the hard questions of anyone.  He seemed to be such a down to earth honest guy.  He was NBC’s Washington bureau chief and a senior vice president.  I can say honestly, this guy will be missed.
