Oddly, most customers aren't complaining.
That is what I have noticed. Those in our church here, and community are not complaining or at least saying something about the high prices of groceries. Very seldom to I hear anything. Also, we are seeing more people moving up here, many are taking their vacations in our church and community as if all is normal. Some apparently have money, or credit, or are spending their money as if we are going to be here a few hundred more years.
One lady I talked to told who goes to one of the churches here told me that for a person to come from down below to go skiing at Vail for a day, which includes gas up here and back down, the food, lodging and lift ticket is $600.00. Now, how much for a large family? Amazing. And she believes that all will be well for the long term once we elect a new president, and the financial bailout occurs. That reminds me of the text... when they say peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them, and my lord delayeth his coming.
The price of a half gallon of soy milk here is $4.99. And I remember at one point at the end of our winter red grapes were $6.99 a pound.
