#1 Predicted at the Burg last summer to begin in November 2017. A slow start, but it has arrived.

#9 Fuel prices, though, are still rising.

Or the value of the dollar is dropping. 8 years of creative money policies of the Fed and Treasury increasing the amount of dollars without backing coming home to roost.

#10 I can handle Waffle House. In and out for $10 w/mil discount, to include a nice tip. Waffle House is a 'no can do' for the wife. Don't think she's ever set foot in one. Waffle House alternatives, dinner for two around here, you'd better plan on $50. minimum.

No, the dollar doesn't buy as much as it used to.

#11 Plate lunch with a coke $ .75 at the Highway Cafe.
Meatloaf, green beans, corn, and dinner role. But now we're talking when Ike was in the White House.
Times, they have changed.

#12 I enjoy the Waffle House from time to time. The local ones belonged for a time to a gentleman with a fondness for native wild flowers. About a decade ago he sold out and put his profits into a garden shop, but the new management is doing just fine.

Waffle House takes the tae kwan do approach: do a few key things very well, and don’t fuss with fancy flourishes.
