Okay, we just did the National Date Festival and Riverside County Fair , here in Indio, CA. Ten days of mediocre boredom... I pity the food booths. SOme had their percentages up, but thats because they had to jack up those food prices considerably.

That that breakfast burrito that last year was 5.50 a pop. THis week it was 7 bucks. Pop? THe large went from 3 buck to 3.75-4 bucks. We are talking movie theater prices here...

Everywhere things are up... Gas hits us hard. But imagine a carnival that has to run those diesel generators..

ITS going to be an ugly year.

Food is going to a problem I think. And not just the price of it. We have record low stockpiles of grain since statistics have been kept. The American farmer is in no mood to limit exports in order that we do not go hungry. As you say, it could get ugly.
