Early seventies the stores started reducing tobacco sales to us kids. Though a parental note in writing could work.
Such a kid was encouraged to buy "extras".

A friends Dad drove truck.
2.00 a carton for ciggs when they ran around 4.00 retail. Bought a couple of those.

Machines didn't discriminate. Often in vestibules of entrance ways a kid could drop 35 cents and not only escape with a pack of smokes , but on some machines hit the thank you button and recieve a complimentary pack of matches. Which indeed held value among kids. (!) Things like camp fires and tennis ball cannons . Let alone tobacco.

Got to where one store would sell us rolling papers and a small package of Masterpiece pipe tobacco (.05 ) and no packs of ciggaretes.
But between smoking rolled pipe tobacco and the unsupervised machines and the varied random sources ; we got by.

Beer wasn't hard to come by.
Stores were miles away from me most places I've lived.
Still are for that matter.

The NPS is asking for information about more than 20 individuals who may be missing or unaccounted for following the Aug. 29 flash flood in Bright Angel Canyon and the Phantom Ranch area.



Pool of water rushes through Goblin Valley State Park in Utah as heavy rain triggers flooding. A Flood Watch is in effect for portions of central and southern Utah through Monday evening.

I'm adjusting the fence constantly and looking in to an aftermarket brand replacement. Other then that it is great ! I still have my old trusty 12" Delta Industrial that I still use regularly. I bought the rigid as I needed a sliding compound miter saw. It helps to put the best finish blade you can find.

A contractor told me to get the Ridgid, he said the guide was true to the ruler.
A good blade really is key for making a true cut.
Have to do a plate rail in the matter bedroom this winter.
