I know it's inflation and adjusted prices, but just seeing that makes you weep. I actually passed by a run down gas station the other day that had the prices from 7 years back... rings a bit more true to what we've gone through in less than a decade regarding escalating prices.Jokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224267023770962108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828158097601815711.post-36667200709249294732008-08-12T09:25:00.000-04:002008-08-12T09:25:00.000-04:00joker--leggings with skirts!

That ad ran in 1979 when gas was "staggeringly high".

(It was huge, I tell you. I want to find that old clanking bastard so I can rig it up to print out my email. Wouldn't that be something?) I'm now engaged to McCann-Erickson in Seattle, WA.
