Gas Prices To Decline: GasBuddy says gas prices are going to continue to decline. Company analyst Patrick DeHaan says, “We’re seeing more and more stations falling back under the $4 a gallon mark, which is something I think most stations will do in the days ahead. While prices should continue to declining this week, maybe one more week as well, we still are in the midst of hurricane season. Any small disruption could be magnified. I don’t think we will get back to pre-pandemic levels until the end of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and that’s the wild card. We’re not going back to normal until things go back to normal in Russia and Ukraine.”

Dear Fonseca
With school starting soon, my ex-husband and I are battling over our 12 year old son. Our son is entering 7th grade and wants to start dating. I think he's too young and needs to wait until he's a freshman. He should be concentrating on grades and sports. My husband says there's nothing wrong with him dating. He says he can have dates over to his house with the door closed to his room. My ex-husband says I'm clueless if I think our 12 year old is not ready to date. Is 12 too young to date?
