That is a pretty neat ledger to have. Took some time didn't it. But what a record of history.

Amazing prices !

People used to work for $2 / day. Now they spend 3 times that at Dunkin Donuts on their way to work.

Everything's changed so much. Seems like beef prices on there could multiplied by 6 - 8 - maybe 10 times.

What always amazes me is eggs. Didn't we sell eggs for .75 / dozen in the 1960's ??? Very tough business back then. Now our eggs come from giant producers. But prices of eggs didn't go up like other things.
