I think Russ is right. We're sliding down the slippery slope, but we haven't reached bottom yet.

And if you look closely, you may notice that stuff HAS gone up, but not ALL stuff has gone up. My makeup, dog and cat food, chicken feed and scratch, motor oil, manila envelopes, Spam, and tons of other stuff has gone up. Eighteen pounds of cat food has gone up from $19 to $26. Stove pellets are up. Firewood is up. Windshield de-icer has almost doubled. The last time that I looked at a magazine, it had gone up from $5.95 to $7.95.

But we're not finished yet. Still sliding...
