Mid-Day Report--What's Happening Today

• It comes as no surprise to those of us who are being sucked dry at the gas pump, that Exxon Mobil Corp. on Friday posted the largest annual profit by a U.S. company , $40.6 billion.
• Microsoft is offering $44.6 Billion For Yahoo.
• Slippery roads all across the state are causing accidents. Mostly in the southeast where the precipitation is falling as freezing rain. In Potter County today, most of the precipitation fell as a wet sleet and road crews were able to successfully salt it. Fortunately it didn't stick to the trees and wires.
• Brian & Lisa Drabert's Minimart on River Street in Roulette will be opening soon. They have coffee and newspapers mornings, and continue working on the store the rest of the day. They are now stocking and selling cigarettes. Watch for an announcement soon. The New You Salon has moved to the rear of the building on River Street, in Roulette. Both are located across from the firehall in Roulette.
• The Roulette Ambulance squad, part of the Roulette Chemical Engine fire department are this area's angels of mercy. They come out in all kinds of weather, anytime day or night to answer emergency calls. On a call yesterday afternoon, the ambulance went by my house on Main Street not 1 minute from the time the siren stopped blowing. God bless every one of them and keep them safe.
