Picture from “Adweek” I have a dirty little secret. Well. It isn’t dirty; rather it’s a very clean secret. Now you all know that I’m the thrifty sort. I come from a long line of toothpaste tube squeezers, “Use the Celery Tops in Soup” makers and “You know…you wash those out and you can use [...]

We still don’t know what will happen to Wings Over the Rainbow Rescue. No details have been released and as far as I know, no decisions have been made.

While there has been a great deal of interest in the Wings Over the Rainbow seizure, with it came the usual storm of controversy, differences of opinion and points of view.

It’s happened again. Another seizure, another rescue in trouble. It’s easy for all of us to point fingers and make judgements.
