Mother's Day and high school graduations might not be the same this year, thanks to a global helium shortage. 75 percent of the global helium supply comes from three places - the country of Qatar, Texas, and the great state of Wyoming. Unfortunately, the recent helium shortage has poked a hole in the balloon business, causing prices to skyrocket at party supply stores, and impacting other industries like aerospace, electronics, and health care.

Thankfully I don't need any helium...that I know of.
Does Mr. FMB know about this?
