We meet every Saturday morning at
9 am at
Le Boulanger at San Felipe and Yerba Buena. There is a Starbucks
across from it if you need something "special" to go with your bagel or
pastry. For February "away" coffee, we are going to go to
the Heartbeat Cafe in the Cambrian Shopping Center. We haven't
been there for a few years but enjoyed it in the past. The date
is Saturday, Feb. 19th at 9am. Come join us!

Comments made in the year 1955!
‘I’ll tell you one thing, if things
keep going the way they are, it’s going to be impossible to buy a
week’s groceries for $10.00.‘
‘Have you seen the new cars coming out
next year? It won’t be long before $1,000 will only buy a used
one.’
‘If cigarettes keep going up in price,
I’m going to quit; 20 cents a pack is ridiculous. ‘
‘Did you hear the post office is
thinking about charging 7 cents just to mail a letter.’
‘If they raise the minimum wage to
$1.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.’
‘When I first started driving, who
would have thought gas would someday cost 25 cents a gallon. Guess we’d
be better off leaving the car in the garage.’
‘I’m afraid to send my kids to the
movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with
saying DAMN in ‘GONE WITH THE WIND’, it seems every new movie has
either HELL or DAMN in it.’
‘I read the other day where some
scientist thinks it’s possible to put a man on the moon by the end of
the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing
for it down in Texas .’
‘Did you see where some baseball
player just signed a contract for $50,000 a year just to play ball?
It wouldn’t surprise me if someday they’ll be making more than the
President.‘
‘I never thought I’d see the day all
our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making
electric typewriters now.‘
‘It’s too bad things are so tough
nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to
make ends meet.‘
‘It won’t be long before young couples
are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both
work.’
‘I’m afraid the Volkswagen car is
going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.’
‘Thank goodness I won’t live to see
the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I
sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to government.’
‘The drive-in restaurant is convenient
in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.’
‘There is no sense going on short
trips anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $2.00 a night to
stay in a hotel.’
‘No one can afford to be sick
anymore. At $15.00 a day in the hospital, it’s too rich for my
blood.’
‘If they think I’ll pay 30 cents for a
hair cut, forget it.’
Know any friends who would get a kick
out of these, pass this on!
Be sure and send it to your kids and grandkids, too!
(This one is for you, Randi.)
