You still watch "movies"!?

Sure, and we still go out to lunch/dinner, too (a couple of times on a
weekend). Go figure. Not too often to the movies, though. The
pickings are slim in the left's world.

Food is cheap, fuel is incredibly cheap.

Strange. In my part of the USA (CO), food prices keep increasing.
The last time gas prices went sky-high, so did food prices. This is
understandable. When gasoline prices fell, food prices remained
constant. I've seen $8.99USD/lb for cube stk. This is NOT food
prices falling.

Look how many minutes of work it takes to buy food.

My last "heat" (electricity) bill was $120.

My heat is from propane, the fan for my central heating is electric.
I can see "$120" per month ....fer 3-4 mos. During Summer, I pay zip
fer propane and rarely more than $70 mo fer electricity.

Well, last month was "Winter", such as it was. We heat and cool with
electricity. It's a rather large house, too (another thing I could
never have afforded forty years ago).

I think our record was $230.

WTF state do you live in!?

Georgia

You have my deepest sympathy!

Atlanta is a really nice city and we're just far enough that we live
outside the congestion and leftist BS and just close enough that we
can get anywhere we want to go within an hour (as long as it isn't
rush hour), including Highland, Peachtree, two Woodcrafts, two
Rocklers and several hardwood lumber yards. ;-)

My wife is going on a trip with her girl friends for a few days, so
I'll probably hit Highland tomorrow.


I'll never live East of the CO's front range (Denver, Colo Springs,
etc). Can't take the humidity.

I'd *NEVER* live in CA and I'm done with the nitre NE. The heat isn't
all that bad, here, at least since they invented AC. ;-) The
Winters are about perfect.
