I remember when they increased the price of gum from a nickel for a five stick pack to a dime for a ten stick pack. I swore off gum for YEARS.

It’s funny how people have just gotten used to prices going up. I have a stack of ten Morgan silver dollars I like to show people. I tell them that the stack was worth $10 back in the early 1920’s and was worth $10 in the mid-1970’s. Now it’s worth about $350.

I have a very SERIOUS problem with that. So serious that I moved out of the city and bought a home and farm in very rural country. We can be 100% self sufficient here if it comes to that. I’ll miss air conditioning in parts of July though...
