Friday at home

I am thinking " What day is this?" I look at the computer clock and it says Friday September 12 ,2008. Wow, what an instant surprise. I made it through another week without a hurricane and life is pretty normal. I don't live next to the Anthonys so the only crazy stuff I see is on television. The Nancy Grace show devotes a whole hour on the Casey/Caylee story. She brings in many important guest like high profile lawyers who argue the rights of Casey, but offer no solutions to finding Caylee. I got a good doze of reality yesterday when shopping at Publix and looking at the meat prices. The Sirloins were in the nine to ten dollar range. The Porterhouse small steaks were in the fourteen to sixteen dollar range. The New York strip steaks were in the nine to ten dollar range. Plus the size of the meats were really trimmed down. It was the same way with the chicken. I saw whole cut up chicken for eight to nine dollars. Maybe, part of a chicken around four dollars. This might be inflation of the times, but I remember when prices were more reasonable. I could actually afford a whole chicken and maybe a little extra. The income of people is not equal to the current cost of living. The cost of current living outweighs the income thus giving people like me less variety to choose.
