Do you want to know what scares me? Things have changed more in the past 50 years, than it seems the 50 years prior. What will the next 50 hold?

Great Blog.... That brings me back in so many ways.....

Things have changed so much since those innocent times...


Oh and needmore coffee..... things have changed dramatically more in the last 25 years years than they did in the 50 years prior to 2007.... When I started driving in 1969 gas was 43 cents a gallon, cigaretts were 33 cents a pack, candy bars were 5 or 10 cents, a 16 ounce pepsi was 15 cents and you saw 2 top rated movies for 75 cents.....Not one movie for 7 dollars....

I love these, but it really makes me feel old. I remember when gas was 25 cents and how upset I was when it went to 50 cents.
