I checked out the price of gas and 4.07 translates to $33.23 in 1955. Wow! or 50c the other way around. <BR/><BR/>I do miss the emporium ice cream shop and love getting ice cream at every year at the state fair. I didn't know that you could order it like that though, so I might have to do that next time I want some ice cream. The only problem is that its 3 gallons. Do you know if you can get it in smaller quantities?tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08719462618314913629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449879009903475672.post-25108371283697909152008-07-19T10:58:00.000-04:002008-07-19T10:58:00.000-04:00It would be easy to spend a while using the buying...It would be easy to spend a while using the buying calculator...
