Running Errands

 Running errands this morning, I happened to see that egg prices continue to drop.


That's not as bad as it was on the 1st of the month.  They're coming down.  Driving to the next stop, I heard a talk radio guy ay that Louisiana has a bill pending to rescind all local sales taxes on groceries.  Currently, locally, we pay about 5 cents local taxes on groceries. That would be better, but I don't give it  snowball's chance of passing.  Local government loves their tax money.

Thence to the barber shop, where we discussed everything from bakes ham to Jesus.  In an old-style country barber shop, you never know what the topic of conversation might be. We're still paying $20 for a haircut, which is another indication of inflation.  The haircut is worth $8, but the conversation makes up for the other $12.

I kept my hair short before, during, and after my military career. Easier then to give up fighting the increasingly large barren area up top and bought a "Skull Shaver Pit Bull Pro" for what remains. I don't get the barber shop social aspect of the visits, but the shaver has paid for itself long ago.

Good news, and solving the world's issues in the barber shop is a tradition!
