I remember seeing my first electronic calculator. It was basic four function plus square and cube roots. It was the size of a big city telephone book and cost $4000 in 1965 dollars. Today the same calculator is the size of a credit card and is a give away. BTW I remember crank type wall phones.

Oh how I wish it still was 10.00 to fill the tank or less. I paid 27.00 today to fill my tank

Be thankful you don't live in the UK. Gas prices there work out a little over $6.50 per US gallon. Your $27 would get your about four US gallons at a UK gas station.

I like getting grocery store gas rewards because what was originally $2.79 a gallon could potentially be $1.39 a gallon :D

Remember when the Boy Scouts was the Boy Scouts because it was about boys coming together to do boy stuff?

Remember when one was a hero if they stopped one from committing suicide, before one became a hero by stopping all who desire to stop them?

I'm not really sure what you mean about the second sentence Josiah.
