not even going back that far...

1999 Ford F-350 diesel pick-up. $28,990 with all the bells and maybe even a whistle.

2011 Ford F-350 diesel pick-up. $59,995 with a few bells, no whistles, and a stupid extra tank for DEF.

So, I paid $45,600 for my house in 2001.

Why is this new truck costing more than my house? Unless I can watch TV and poop in it, there is no way it should cost more than my house. then again, I guess I could put a TV in it, and crap in the driver's seat. would be a smelly ride, watching equally smelly programming, but...

I'm just saying...

WE are all retarded for paying this much. Then again...

1977 a bushel of corn: $2.01

2004 a bushel of corn: $2.01

Oh yeah! makes you want to throw your hat in the creek, doesn't it?

$7 bushels of corn in 2011 do make me smile, but I have to wonder if we will go back to the $2 corn in the future. How can I afford a new pick-up on $2 corn? Outrageous!

gasoline is going down. that scares me, because when the gas price drops, the crops are soon to follow.

1979, we helped afghanistan hold back the Russians, and we didn't sell them beans. Well, a hill of beans drop in price until it didn't amount to a hill of beans. hmmmm... that sounds funny.

So, if you owed money on a tractor in 1979 and had to tell the bank that you couldn't afford the payments because Russia was trying to have their way with Afghanistan, what did the bankers say? nothing, because they couldn't talk right while laughing that much.

So what do we do? We laugh a lot, watch funny movies and roll with the punches until we die. Our families are a lot more important than a hill of beans or the tractor that planted them, but dang, that makes my skin crawl! how about you?
