Ralph -

Wellllllllllll.  Not quite that much change.  A regular plain old small (12 oz) cuppajoe would set Ruth back a total of $1.20 (that includes tax), until she's of the senior persuasion.  At that point, she would pay $0.80 in today's dollars, which I refuse to convert to euros.

So, Ruth.  What's a cup of black gold set you back up there in your neck of the woods?

  Pam,

  By change, I don't suppose you mean $4.50, do you?

  After all, it's Phelps, not Vermont.
