Tuesday's story ideas

Hannah Montana a/k/a Miley Cyrus. Is she a teen role model or just the newest version of Britney Spears? Talk to parents to see if they're turning their kids away from this stuff in light of her Vanity Fair pictures.

Dollars to donuts. Rising wheat prices are sending things that used to be cheap, like donuts and bagels, close to the dollar mark.

Today's cool gas story: If you have to idle your car for more than 60 seconds, you should turn it off. In other words, skip the drive thru, park your car, walk ten feet and take care of whatever business inside.

Cigarette smuggling. Ne'er do wells are buying smokes cheap in places like Native American reservations, then re-selling them in places that cigarettes are expensive.

New spaying techniques for dogs are less painful for Fido. Check with the local vet.

More pregnant women are diabetic, which increase the odds their children will have the same problem. What can expectant moms do?

Driving slower to save gas. Seems to be a trend... at least when I drive 55 instead of 65 now, nobody flips me off.

Coffee shops... earliest victims of the economy? I passed four Starbucks yesterday and all had empty parking lots.
