I'm 72 years old. The first presidential election I was aware of was 1960. I was rooting for JFK even though my older brother was for Nixon. I've been a progressive ever since Former educator and hospitality manager. Father of three. Grandfather of seven.

It didn't cost the whole quarter mere but it was not longer 98 cents. She had to kick in a quarter to cover the extra 10 or twelve cents. Milky Ways went from 5 cents to 10 cents with sugar costs going up because of the Cuba thing. Before they went up they shrunk to keep the price level for a while.

That would have 1963. My mom would give me a buck to get her 3 packs of cigarettes before I went to school. In 1964 she had to give a dollar and a quarter.

I became a journalist because of the incredible investigative reporting by WaPo that broke the Watergate scandal. Nixon should have gone to prison. And had he been properly punished we would not have Donnie Dementia running this country into the ground as a crooked wannabe dictator.

The Sound of Music I saw the traveling Broadway production last night. Beautifully done. Extremely disturbing. My stomach turned when the Von Trots were encouraged to just go along. Their solution to the situation: run and give up everything. Trump would like nothing better from us!
