    Ah, the good old days !!!

    Now that I'm old and gray, I can't believe the change in prices for this good stuff!

    Whole cheese pizza ............ 75 cents !!

    Two weiners ...................for a quarter !!

    1/2 pint of fried clams .... ......55 cents !!

    Gas..........................15 cents a gallon !!

    Does this make me old, or what !!

    You remember that far back?

    16 ounce bottle of pop, .35 cents. Now it's a 20 ounce bottle and you better have at least $1.00

    My first tank of gas was $.82/gal. And that was expensive! Of course, that was 14 years ago...
