My first job was setting pins in a bowling alley at 10 cents a game. Leaque night was always good for about $3 in tips. Took me a month to earn enough to buy one of those new fangled transistor radios by a little known Jap company called Sony. It helped with the boredom when people weren't rolling.

Gas was $.20/gal, so working two games got me a gallon of gas. 30 games or $3 got me a fill-up,

Last night, I filled up my daily driver with a discount card worth 50 cents off every gallon purchased. Still cost me $43.50 to fill up. And that's for my Subaru, not the Mountaineer.
