True Lake, I think we've crawled under, climbed up, stomped through, waded in, or searched for, every old building in North Florida, not to mention a few in Philadelphia, Detroit, Denver, OKC and South Dakota! Much more coming soon.

Price controls imposed by government are always an economic disaster. It creates shortages because, as the gentleman said, who's going to pay more and more for the product coming in when you can't pass the price increases on to the customer? Nixon was not economically smart, but then again, most Presidents aren't. Nixon also released the last connection of gold to the U.S. dollar. That has been a disaster as well.
