Bacon, egg, and Gouda cheese sandwiches for dinner tonight!

Going to DennyÂ’s. Plenty of bacon and eggs for everyone!


Free dinner! Happy birthday.

And it was!. pretty light though. two eggs a couple pancakes and a
couple pieces of bacon. that;s it. But, i did order a side of hash
browns and sourdough toast though....


Used to like Denny's, but the one nearest us took a slide downhill. Now,
we go to Bob Evans or, if up in Annapolis, iHop. Our favorite breakfast
restaurant, though, is Waffle House, for the food *and* entertainment.
Sadly, there's none around here so we only stop at one while "on the
road." Road food, up and down I-95, is, for the most part, dreadful.

I still have fond memories from 50+ years ago, of a place in Kansas City
where you could get steak, eggs, fries, coffee, for 99 cents, and it was
open 24-7. I got off work at the paper at 1 am weeknights and Sundays
and if I was hungry, the answer was Nichols Lunch. It closed about a
decade ago.


Different times 50+ years ago. Took my wife to PaoliÂ’s French restaurant
in San Francisco when we were dating. $21 for dinner. Two racks of lamb
and a bottle of nice wine. We still comment on that dinner.

Yes but in those days $20K was considered a decent salary, probably
comparable to $200K today.

Maybe not that much, but a hell of a big salary. 1968, year I got married,
i made $18.5k. Average family income was about $14k or a little less, and
this was in the San Francisco Bay Area. My 1964 Corvette coupe Fuel
Injection was originally $5200, I bought for $2900 to build a race car for
SCCA in 1966.

Yikes. I just looked it up and I made $7724.65 in 1968. I didn't make
$18k until 74
