    Hmmm... A WAVE, A WAC, and a WOK.
    WAVE is a women sailor?
    WAC is a woman soldier?
    WOK is a little round ting you tho at a wabbit...
    Do they offer an attractive, agreeable, accessory with purchase of the item? Extra cost expected.

    On the subject of self check outs. A Comedian said, “ WTF? I came in a Customer, and Im leaving as a Associate” I thought it was hilarious, and sadly true.

    That is me, always has been and always will be. If I am in the right; and you are trying to run some crap on me, you are in for some rapid and concise education of how things are going to be, starting there and then. After reasonableness is exhausted, it is time to set the pace.

    So my Dad made the equivalent of .80 cpm today’s money. He often ran 3000 miles. So $2400 per week. About 120k yr. He ran the extra board for a while. 8 hrs after leaving the Terminal, they were calling him. His wife would take the phone off the hook. Blamed it on the teenagers in the house.

    The 3 things I was worried about were all nothing. Illinois has no record of me owing a toll. Though I know I ran 294. Kyu says I’m good. Replacement plates in the mail. $5.00 charge. Waiting on a new throttle body for my daughters Jeep. She’s had ours for a month. $73 from Amazon. Just don’t trust taking to a Shop. Next thing you know, it’s a $1000 Bill, or more.

    Thanks for posting.
    In 54, I was driving for Riddell Truck line, Canton, MS. for $75.00 week and all expenses on road reimbursed. (Including drinking whiskey, not consumed in truck). While not a true comparison; entered into formula as an item worth $75.00, I get $793.98. Not a good week now. as was then. Paid expenses added?

    In 55, I was driving for J.T. Garrard, Starkville, MS, for $.05 a loaded mile. Same basis, entered as an item costing $.05, I get $.53 per mile. Per mile better, but only loaded. Stayed loaded about 75% of the time though.

    In 1955, I bought a Colt; .38 Police positive, holster and a few rounds for $50.00. Bought from the ex driver; Ance Lee Milican , running a service station, who had took it on a $50 gas bill. As an aside... Ance Lee started and built up what is now Royal Trucking Co in West Point, MS, run by his son Billy Milican.

    Pistol would be about right for a private sale; guaranteeing no law enforcement history, to the buyer. Clean guns are in demand, at $529.52.
