[GreenKeys] 33ASR chicken and egg question

[Richard Knoppow]

    Grocery and other bags now cost 10C in California. This is to 
encourage their re-use and discourage having old bags everywhere (some 
of my best friends are old bags).
    There is definitely some inflation going on. I notice it especially 
at the grocery store but its everywhere. The producers will blame it on 
oil prices and the oil companies in turn blame it on the hurricanes but 
its been going on for a long time. I think its happening because the 
goods producers know they can get away with it. Like so many other 
things in life we complain our heads off but never actually do anything.
    As far as you car: are you a member of AAA? If not consider it. In 
most states they will deal with the motor vehicle bureau (or whatever 
they call it) for nearly everything. I have been a member since I was 
old enough to drive and its paid for itself every single year. I just 
got a "new" car and had my call plates transferred to it. AAA did it 
all. Also, whoever you are getting your car insurance from make sure 
they know you can get it cheaper elsewhere, they will often match the 
lowest rate you can find. I got AAA to halve my rates. Insurance 
companies work on the assumption that most customers won't fight back 
and will fold up if you do.
     Both castings and stampings have advantages. For instance, many 
people thing cast loudspeaker frames are best but, in fact, a stamped 
frame is less likely to warp and can often be straightened when it does 
warp.
