The increasing cost of food may bring the used car market to heel. That and the
child tax credit that has been dispensed on a monthly basis, as opposed to
getting a large tax return in March or April. One can hope. I'd like to pick up
a Benz
Wow. Strong work and a good write up.

Napa has this on monthly special last month for $21.99 a gallon. While in KC
last week a store in town on my way home showed to have it available for pickup
the next day and let me order 12. Days later order canceled. This month it’s on
sale for $23.99. Ordered 6 for pickup in a town on the way
I second that. One of the reasons oldest boy is in a Ford Escape. I don’t have
