I still live near there, last year it was $3 a scoop, today I stopped and it has gone to $4. I filled up a
5 gallon can with gas to cut grass yesterday $23.

Is there a better fruit than a fresh peach?

Used to be a day or two in the late summer, you could tell as you approached the produce section in Costco, you were taking a flat of them home today.

Hasn’t happened in years.
