Well let’s see, I can remember when I was six or seven and that 50 cents that Mom gave me to go to the corner store and buy a double cola and a snow ball or banana flip was like a million dollars and I came back with change. I can also remember when I was ten or so my cousin and I would buy 2 fers as they were called ( cigars Mississippi crooks & swisher sweets) 2 for a nickel, we would sit out front of the store and smoke them just like we knew What we were doing. If my uncle or dad had caught us “whew”. I also remember when cokes went up to 6 cents I was livid because that meant we would have to find 2 more discarded drink bottles in the ditch along the roadside in order to buy candy and cokes at the store. I can remember in my early twenties two stations were having a gas war 23 cents a gallon. I also remember those hot cars of the 60’s that 67 mustang GT I had was hot. However I would not want to go back to those days now because everything is better today. That 67 GT got 14 miles to the gallon all the time the 2008 GT I have now gets 26 on highway and 21 city, it runs better, handles and rides better and has air, not to mention I can actually hear the radio as I am flying down the road in comfort. I say all this because we do not have to go back to the past we just need to apply good sound thinking. Get in the habit of recycling those drink bottles, newspapers, tin cans and anything else that you can as a normal part of your everyday life. Eat less ( I am trying ) especially when the HOT sign is flashing at Krispy Cream. Spend more time with family I can still remember those heated rook games with dad and Uncle George they were vicious. Find a charity that you have a passion for and donate your time (good as Gold). Be kind to and encourage others in everyday life, you never know what that may mean to them at this time in their life. The new normal, what does that mean to an average guy like myself?

I believe that a successful business is one that should be able to survive in any market. Trends are always changing and with that products should change. I agree this is a good point.
