    Low carb ideas

My Mom will sometimes bring home a piece cake they had for someones birthday at her office, if it looks decent I'll have some, just for a treat, but I can feel the...

    The average 2017 new car sales price is $34,968. (Plus sales tax, which some states didn't yet have in 1960). http://mediaroom.kbb.com/2017-02-01-New-...elley-Blue-Book That works out to about $4,261 which in 1960 could probably buy a nicely optioned Cadillac at the time.

    Had some trees dropped on the property.

    Might be worth it to get some estimates for chipping the branches, they are worst with the sharp pine needles and the mess particularly when they dry out. I'd limb the branches, drag them to the side of the road and have them chipped. Deal with the big stuff when you can.
