Tag Archives: price increases

An experiment, a nice lunch and a few laughs.

.

We bought a new car last September. A fully loaded 2025 Subaru Forester Touring. I love Pearl… and with the current trade policies am extremely glad we didn’t wait to purchase her.

As an experiment, I checked the price before Trump implemented his moronic tariffs.

.

.

Two weeks after the tariffs took effect?

.

.

I’ll continue to check.

A few days ago we popped into the Foreside Tavern in Falmouth.

(Summer Dreaming cocktail. Vodka, elderflower, lemon and pineapple.)

.

.

Which used to be a Howard Johnson’s when I was young. I still miss their chicken croquettes…

.

.

But the tavern’s bbq chicken flatbread appetizer was tasty.

(Winter spiced margarita. Cinnamon Infused Tequila, Cranberry, Orange, Cointreau, Agave, Lime)

.

.

As was the ribeye steak spring salad with blue cheese, apples, red onions and candied pecans.

.

.

That’s me.

Highly flavorful.

.

Canadians.

Ya gotta love them.

🤣

.

Talk about inflation!

.

Our wallets are all feeling the sting of inflation, be it at the grocery store or the gas pump… but after receiving the monthly newsletter from our little rural town the other day? I had a serious WTF moment.

.

.

A bill that jumps from $50,000 a year to $65,000 a month is the very definition of insane. Increase aside, how is it even legal to break the existing contract and give the town no time to find alternative service?

😠
