Summer continues for all of us, so the headlines are still slow over the season. If I get the time, I might even plan a getaway. Those chances are slimming at this time, however.
So, we’ll have headlines when we receive them, along with thoughts and some analysis as well. However, over the next five to six weeks, expect the headlines to slow down a bit.
Until next week, Happy Landings!
