I remember the day when Wisconsin beat Nebraska to earn a trip to the Rose Bowl.

Oh wait that was yesterday.

a Hamburger at MacDonalds was .69 cents and I was always sad because I couldn't afford the extra .10 cents for the Cheeseburger.

When I was a kid, a burger at McDonalds was .29 and gas was .17/gal for a couples days in 1971.

When the hell was that? I remember the prices going up in the early 70's because of the Arab oil embargo and we had rationing (odd, even) lis plate number's.
