Does your family still have that car?
Brooklyn, WI has the best known Adenauer restoration place in the
world, Brooklyn Motoren Werkes - beautiful place, Albrecht Stachel.

No, I think he bought it for under $1k and sold it about a year later for about 
$1k.  Worse than Snook, it is rare for him to keep a nice car for more than a 
couple years.  I can just barely remember that car.  When I was I high school 
and starting to become car-aware, we looked up its book value, which back then 
was over $15k.

Under $2 here in the Lowcountry.  I was going to hit Costco this evening 
but didn't make it.  It was in $1.80 last week, might be lower than that 
now.

Monday, so that was good.


TUesday, I saw an unattended coop (ethanol plant) selling Benzin at 
2.05.  Yesterdayi saw price on one side of the street at 2.39 and 
across the street, 2.25.  They are desperately trying to gouge us 
until someone lowers the price, then some of them still hang on to 
gouge some more.




Peak oil, that reminds me, another ridiculous scare-monger theory that
reality has dispatched for those impervious to reason.  Wait ten or 
twenty

years and there will be a new one to replace AGW or climate change or
whatever they call it these days.  RUG was $1.849 today, and I see ULSD
around $2.299 down to $2.199.  I wonder how much lower prices will go, I
think this current rapid drop is due to the storage facilities reaching
maximum capacity and now the owners have no choice but to sell the 
produced
oil at market prices, and the market is setting a more correct price 
now.

Sure hope you didn't run into any Hodags or Igarots, passing so close to 
Rhinelander...

You mention some places I haven't been since my youth, I'm sure the roads are 
better now.

Once in the '70s, we set out for summer vacation, probably going to drive from 
Ogema WI to northern MN to visit grandparents.  My father wanted to drive his 
really nice Adenauer.  We got a few miles down Highway 86, and hit some nasty 
road construction; the pavement was gone and all traffic was squeezed onto 
rough loose gravel.  My dad listened to that gravel beating the underside of 
the car for about 5 seconds, stopped and did a U-turn, got in a cursing match 
with the road crew for driving in their road bed during the turn, and went 
straight back home.  We unpacked the Benz and loaded into some beater American 
iron, and took that instead.

Sure hope you didn't run into any Hodags or Igarots, passing so 
close to Rhinelander...


You mention some places I haven't been since my youth, I'm sure the 
roads are better now.


Once in the '70s, we set out for summer vacation, probably going to 
drive from Ogema WI to northern MN to visit grandparents.  My father 
wanted to drive his really nice Adenauer.  We got a few miles down 
Highway 86, and hit some nasty road construction; the pavement was 
gone and all traffic was squeezed onto rough loose gravel.  My dad 
listened to that gravel beating the underside of the car for about 5 
seconds, stopped and did a U-turn, got in a cursing match with the 
road crew for driving in their road bed during the turn, and went 
straight back home.  We unpacked the Benz and loaded into some 
beater American iron, and took that instead.

Definitely encountered hodags.  Went right through downtown 
Rhinelander both ways.  Got chased by some hodags while I chased 
others.  It was potatofest in Rhinelander.  Huge white tent pitched 
by Trigs.  We don't take the bypass.


Sadly Cirilli's has been closed for quite a few years, and now they 
are tearing down the building for "progress."   I loved Cirilli's, 
your SWMBO would have liked it too.  Great place to buy Italian 
pasta, great olive oil and other goodies.  I worked there one summer. 
Mamma Cirilli said my Italian bread was the closest to "home" of any 
she had in her long life the USA.  I consider that to be the best 
compliment I've ever received.  Italian bread needs good flour, dry 
dough, and lots of time, along with TLC and patience.
