Americans save on average 3.6 percent of their disposable income. This is not good, and a situation that has me wringing my hands with worry. The very concept of "average" leads me to believe that relatively few people are true savers -- where they put aside at least 10 percent of their income, consistently, every month. For these people, it has become a habit. But given that the average savings is 3.6 percent, there has to be a lot more people saving zero percent than those saving 10 percent to reach that average. Saving zero percent means saving nothing! Not a single dollar. What are people thinking? I'll tell you what I'm thinking: It's the cellphone bill. Now the biggest bill in many households outside of the mortgage payment. It's sucking the well dry. It's the modern-day version of crack. CTIA, the cellphone trade group, said in a report released in January that the average cellphone bill is $188 for a family of four. OK, so that's the average. That means some are paying $400 a month or more. Which begs the question: Has our addiction to electronic connectivity become such an obsession that Airplane Display Days, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., Red Bluff Airport, 1760 Airport Blvd., 527-6547 BMX racing, 5:30 p.m., Red Rock BMX Track, Tehama District Fairground, $10 Cards for Kids Texas Hold 'em tournament, 5-10 p.m., Community Center Decorative Brushes of No. California, 10 a.m., Community, 1500 S.

Through the '80s, OSB continued to replace plywood at home construction sites and LP grew through internal expansion and acquisition. The '90s saw more changes as LP rebuilt itself around values of integrity, mutual respect, safety, quality products and service, and environ- mental stewardship. In the early 2000s, LP restructured and refocused, selling its woodlands and non-core businesses to focus on the current business segments of OSB, siding and engineered wood. LP launched its South America venture in 2001 and moved its headquarters from Portland, Ore., to Nashville, Tenn., in 2004.
