And, as for how we are personally coping with inflation - - I guess we have a little bit of the "prepper" mentality, because we have always talked about what we could easily do without if need be, without feeling deprived.

Frank has been a ham radio operator for over half a century, so he has plenty of equipment to keep him occupied. I have a big "backlog" of video games that I bought and never got around to playing as much as I might like.
And so on. There are a million ways to have fun without spending a cent. This helps to compensate for food and utilities going up like they have. Also we are cutting back on pleasure drives and neither of us has been buying more than one tank of gasoline each month or two.
