I did not know food was up until I read this one; I have not been in a grocery store for fifteen years. My husband verified it.

Not terribly so, but it is up some on some items. Thanks.

I like the way you introduce inflation, Milt. Funny, but my tires are expanding too... And then there's the ever-expanding spare tire around my midruff. Oy!! Smiles, Gershon

Yep, inflation comes to the best of us...and not always in ways we want to tolerate.

Seems there are dry spells all over earth and in every life. Nice haiku Milt! I feel deeply for those who face hunger and rejoice in the work of those who feed the many forms of hunger.

Oh, please do, Sunshine Smile. Many people in our the central and western part of the United States are really suffering.
