An anchorman's take on news, money, family, life and a lot more
This week we had a story that really gets under my skin when I fly. Airlines are making so much money with those annoying baggage fees. Those fees, starting at 25 dollars, added up to 1.7 billion dollars in just the first half of this year. That’s the most ever during a six-month period. I’ve […]
