SIGNS OF A POOR ECONOMY
It's no secret that the US economy has been horrible. The combination of a week dollar and surging gas prices has left everything else to become more expensive.

Here's how you know it's really bad:

(1) They've managed to keep the price of ice cream the same . . . but they've made the containers smaller.

(2) Some airlines are now charging to check in luggage. And US Air just said they will no longer be providing pretzels. Good thing our Boston trip already happened!

(3) Costco's 7 layer dip still costs about the same . . . but now it's a 6 layer dip.
