August 27, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries


August 27, 1963
Tuesday, 42-70,  clear, bright, partly cloudy in am.  Picked blackberries with Sue. Wayne worked. The federal gas tax came $31.  Clifton went to a union meeting.  Took David's car to Raymond's to have the transmission put in.
Comment:  Probably a beautiful day with fall scents and colors in the air. The $31 would be worth $265 in today's money so, not bad.  Looking from the other side, what cost you $4.42 in 1963 would cost you $38 today.  David still struggling with his car..." the road goes on forever and the party never ends..."

No comments:

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
