Inflation?

Aloha: Do you think we have inflation today? I just saw something that surprised me so I copied it for your edification. "The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) today released their Producer Price Index (PPI) report for March 2010 and the latest numbers are shocking. Food prices for the month rose by 2.4%, its sixth consecutive monthly increase and the largest jump in over 26 years." Whoa, what happened? Could it be possible? Wait, that's right. A quart of Mayo in now only 30 ounces, not 32. Can you find other examples of inflation?

There was a 3.2 earthquake on Mauna Loa very early this morning. Last month Mauna Loa status was lowered to the lowest level possible; normal. Our volcano, Kilauea, is chugging along; SOS. No lava in going into the ocean as the lave tubes from the TEB vent have closed and there are now surface flows which move quite a bit slower and cool a lot faster. These flows are not in areas that can be visited by the general public. All the volcano reports are SOS. The weather is great.

I am waiting for word about sitting next week. That's all folks. God bless and take care.
