Re: I have just been legally mugged in Publix super market
I was in Washington DC over Christmas and got robbed in one of the candy stores there buying British Chocolate. I didn't bother to check the prices and ended up spending over $70 on stuff like Aero bars, maltesers etc.
It was very sad and I was more than a little ashamed over my reaction upon seeing so much British chocolate, I kind of glazed over and simply started to fill up a basket. I think on average the chocolate bars were around $4 each.

We are here in NYC, Upper West Side, for our annual city vacation. Purely by chance (!) we are close to Fair Way supermarket and Zabars.. Both famous gourmet destinations. Interesting to note that prices are lower here than for comparable items in our hometown, hardscrabble chain supermarket.. And the comparable items here in NYC are infinitely better quality.

I doubt we will see rain before June.
Wish I could say the same about the wind.

Personally think, minimum wage needs to be $20 per hour & other salaries raised accordingly.
In last 20 years,wages need to be at least double to triple what they were to keep up with inflation "Spending Power".
Would like other peoples opinions.
Gasoline, may head towards $5 again, I remember paying 89c a gal 10-12 years ago.
