I flew back home a few weeks back. I was only there a couple of days and tried to get in everything I could see. I went to a pizza place (Quatro's in Carbondale, IL) that I used to eat lunch at once in a while when I was in college. Mmmm... best pizza around. The place has been the same since I was a little kid and my older brother took me there. A funny thought struck me. Pizza that used to be about a 15 minute drive and cost about 2 bucks a slice, was now about 6 hours (of flying) and thousands of dollars in expenses to get. Talk about inflation. : )
