Navigating this Blog

• Topics are written as they come to mind and published in chronological order.

• Multi-part topics are generally posted in sequential order and grouped together.  As they are published, they show up in reverse order in the archive list (see side-bar).

• The Google search window works just the way its net search window does, but limits its search only to the blog.

• Labels located at the end of each piece will find and return links to all other posts having that same label.  This is a very good tool for quickly locating similar material.  (Unfortunately, it depends on me to put the labels in, which I sometimes forget—so, it’s not perfect, nor am I).

• Tip 1:  If you return to Google’s net search window and search for 1963 ehhs much of what is returned points to this blog. 

• Tip 2:  Switch the Tip 1 returns view to “images” and nearly every image you see points to this blog.  This is a very easy way to skip around the blog to things you want to see without having to plod through the archives.

Gas Prices - 2007-2011

Matched a picture taken about 4-years ago with one taken last week. Top 2 numbers are comparable...up about 36% since 2007. Milk has been about $2.79/gal. for as long as I can recall...if it had gone up at the same rate, it would be $3.80/gal. now...it isn't.

Sixties Rock

Neat cup, isn't it? We've all had favorite cups over the years and used them until we either dropped them or the inside got so vile looking that we found a replacement. This one came out of one of those mail order catalogs and never fails to evoke a knowing smile as some of the group names come into focus. Some fun, eh kid?

By the way, a black cup is great...you never see how vile its inside has become!
