BA> Dunno.  I have ten (I had eleven but found another home for one of them).
 
My daughter's m-i-l is always finding strays to give her and there used to
be four dogs until I was given a Yorkie.  All of them are small and the
Yorkie likes to push them around even though he barely weighs 5# soaking
wet.
 
BA> Nope.  In point of fact I didn't count anything, I just figure backwards.
BA> Retirement is effective at midnight on the last day of the month, I
BA> enlisted at about 1020 in the morning on May 20th.
 
Okay.
 
BA> I do, however, have a 'short' calendar the folks in the computer room on
BA> Okinawa ran off for me. It's a booklet of nice calendar pages that
BA> begins the day I arrived and ends the day I left - six years later, on
BA> the same date I arrived; IIRC 2200 and some odd days.
 
That was nice of them.  I began writing a book back in the early Sixties,
but then I got married and don't know what happened to the pages.
 
BA> I can remember when one could stop at a gas station, put 15 gallons of
BA> gas in the car, buy a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of coke - and get
BA> change for a $5 bill.  Today that much gas will set one back about $45,
BA> a pack of cigarettes is at least $2.50 (I don't smoke and don't keep
BA> track) and that bottle of coke is about $1.50. Everything's just about
BA> ten times as expensive as it was back in 1960 (or the dollar has 1/10 of
BA> the value it had in 1960, take your pick).
 
I quit drinking Coke when the fiasco about New Coke came into being.  How a
company can discontinue a top-seller for something no longer on the market
is a mystery to me.  When I called Atlanta to give them my opinion, I was
given a song and dance routine answer Fred Astaire would have shunned. 
I've switched to Sprite in the 2-liter bottles and they sell here for $1.50
each. I quit smoking in October, 1986 and haven't touched one since.  I
can't stand to be around those who do.  Some of them are my friends and
neighbors, so I have to make allowances.
 
I also remember when gasoline was 29 cents a gallon.  Also, check out the
ridiculous prices on cars.
