I've been stocking up on teabags for iced tea. Name brand sodas are going for around $5.oo a 12-pack, I will NEVER pay that. After $3.00, they can keep it. We used to take day rides in our general area - now we stay home. Can't help but feel sadness for those who've lost jobs. Obama and his regime need to get a taste of unemplpyment SOON.

I couldn’t agree with you more. We still go on short rides (under an hour) to places where we can hike and see old mines, furnaces and such to the north & west of us; the days of movies or bowling with the kids, eating out (or ordering in), etc. are over. Occasionally (every few months or so) we will order a movie “on demand” (maximum cost $5, compared to theater prices). When we go to the shore or nearby lakes we bring our own lunch in a cooler; for hiking we need only bring water in canteens (sometimes with imitation Kool-Aid mix), a tube of crackers, a can of Spam, and a can of Cheez Wiz.
I’m glad I grew up in a large family; many of the things people are missing I never had anyway.
