2016, I started posting again!

OK, it’s been a while. Been busy, working long hours, had a cold that seemed to last forever, blah blah etc. Really no excuse. So wash and wax the soapbox, because we need to step up and shout!

Do you realize that on this date in 1927 the Ford Model A went on sale for $385? The average salary in America in 1927 was $1,000 ( 50 cents an hour ) so a new car was 5 months income ( in theory ). How would you like to be able to buy a car today for 5 months income? Let’s see, if you made $15 an hour, that would be about $12,000 in 5 months. Actually, the Nissan Versa S sedan lists for $12,780, so I guess not much has changed in 90 years.

Well, gotta run. Things to do, money to spend, happiness to pursue.

Posting for the good and true,
