Not around here. It was .50. But I understand. In 1973 I was making about $9K a year teaching high school shop. Now I making more on fixed retirement income. Back then shooting was my most economical pastime. But, I'd have to sell a gun to fix a transmission on the junkers I drove.
Didn't have to live in a tent, however, as I had a trailer.
Did go to legion trap shoots to win a ham for a buck and didn't scrounge at the dump but that wasn't far off.
I love your wry posts.
