Thirty years ago I used to be able visit the store with $5 in my wallet and
come away with a bottle of whisky and a packet of cigarettes. You cant do
that these days, too many ****ing security cameras.

In 1949, I figured that if I ever earned a dollar per hour, I would be
a Rich man. When I turned 19 (1958) I worked as a labourer wheeling
concrete in a wheelbarrow for $1.25/hour.

EEk! You're OLD! I was _born_ in 1949! Anyway, I remember the first nine
dollars I earned at my paper route - I bought a BB gun. It wasn't a Daisy,
but some off-brand, and it was my most prized possession. In about 1966,
I got a job as a bus boy/dishwasher at $1.20/hr, and we used to steal the
coffee hostess's tips. =:-O

Cheers!
