"I left the Twin Cities in Minnesota for good in the fall of 1974"... I came outside my office building downtown, there was this big man dressed as a Viking, with various leathers and furs, and one of those pointy helmets with horns on. He was ringing a bell and was wearing a sandwich board on which was emblazoned THE END IS NEAR."

federal -- yes, I remember the inflation of the 70's. such high interest rates. Nixon's price controls (do I have that right?). The company that I worked for (only part time available) needed me extra hours to compute the price of goods sold so as to comply with the price controls. very strange.

expecting stagflation at best from this mess the Fed has gotten us into . . .
