OBESITY? GROCERY PRICES WILL SOON REMEDY THAT The last time Grandma Rusty really shopped for groceries was early August before she took a trip. Basically, while she was gone Rusty just bought what he considered survival grub, like milk, bread, and ice cream. Her putting off shopping as long as she could necessitated our mixing up some powdered milk. The first sip tasted no better than the Starlac and Sanilac did in the 1950s and 60s. Fortunately, we have enough cocoa to get us over the hump. When Granny got home from the ElCampo super WM Rusty made the mistake of asking what the bill was. We've had rent and house payments less than that. * You know things are getting bad when you're glad for UPS to deliver a box of diapers. ** It's amazing how many people of all ages, and stripes, go out of their way to voluntarily help me by opening and holding doors, carrying whatever the load of the moment happens to be. The mineral and gem show at the community center last weekend was a case in point. Some of the VGMA members were demonstrating rock polishing and other lapidary skills. There was always some kind soul ready to help pack my equipment in and out. One gentleman even parked my pickup. Sue Stuart retreived my ZEE-Coil shoes for me.
