FRIDAY, JULY 1
Went to Quality Tire in Spring Grove to check on the Malibu and then to McHenry to check out some garden centers at Wal Mart and Home Depot and then bought three 5-pack Maxell cassette bricks and a Sony Radio, Cassette and CD boombox player using a 30% off coupon. Nowadays a cassette brick costs $9.99 at Meijers which is the only place I know of to buy a brick. The boom box usually cost $69.99.
Gas on Illinois Highway 31 was $5.15 and $5.05. Getting better, but still way TOO expensive
Stopped at the Spring Grove Jewel on the way home and bought six 12-packs of Diet Coke for Liz at 3 for $10, a real good deal these days of inflation in pretty much everything. (Sale prices on these used to be 4 for $10.)
I see that USC and UCLA are going to join the Big 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. That will make it the Big 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. Time for a name change. Another case of the rich get richer among the so-called Power Conferences. I liked the old days where conferences were based on regional location, but not no more.
Picked up the Malibu which ended up with $460 in repairs.
Met the usual suspects at Johnny's Cafe in Fox Lake and then went to the Fox Lake American Legion.
But, I Like Cassettes, and, Even More Important, Know How toUse Them. -RoadDog
