Inflation?
Well apparently INFLATION has effected more than just the price we pay for goods and services, and there is nothing Alan Greenspan can do to stem the tide.
For the past 6 months living in Portland, at least once a week someone on the street has said, "Hey buddy, can you spare 60 cents?"
I used to be amused by how specific they were to ask for an amount and not just spare change. The other day, in the pouring rain a guy asked me "Hey man, do you think you can spare 70 cents."
Perhaps its because I grew up in NY and NJ, perhaps its because I'm a smart ass, but I replied...
"70 cents? What? The price went up? Please tell me this has nothing to do with rising energy costs."
