What is this world coming to?
I just got back from a trip to the Great North West. I visited my dad after 16 years of not traveling up his way. He's been down a few times and we've been in touch on the phone and on the internet....

i had a double scoop cone of Pecan Praline, for $2.50:B
$2.50 :h Back in the fifties we could get locally made hand-dipped ice cream for a nickle a scoop. Oh, also we had had a water cooled Coke machine that gave you an 8 oz bottle for a nickle.Man those were dirty nasty things,but you just stuck your hand down in them,pulled out the bottle you wanted,popped the cap and drank it.
Even considering normal inflation these products are very overpriced thise days. Few people pay much attention but rather just pull out the plastic. Its no wonder many of these things have become so expensive and the majority of the population is carrying considerable debt.
That $2.50 cent cone probably cost most of you $3.00.
Hey Dick,now you're showing your age... I'd tell you mine,but then Linda,RVlady,would be upset as we're the same b'day.(Easter Sunday)
Okay now,Tillamook,Umpqua,Olympic out of Shelton,Wa. the one in Port Townsend on the waterfront. It seems as if a lot of towns have their own local favorites. Oh and we also like Blue Bunny and their museum in La Mars,Iowa is really neat.
