[AT] OT was runaway cars/now "electronic steering"

[Best, George]

I've done pretty well with my job.  I started at $600 a month in 1974.  Still working for the same company, but I've managed to beat the inflation rate by a good amount.

The bad part is the price of collector tractors the last 10 years or so have shot up so high that I can no longer afford to buy the tractors I owned at one time and then for various reasons sold.  So even though I earn a good wage, early tractors have increased so much that I still can't afford them.

I just ran out that dollartimes formula for the salary I started working 
for the /State of OK for in 1977.  It was almost exactly what I quit 
working at in 2007 after 30 years and bonuses etc..  However, I was in a 
much higher tax bracket etc..  Therefore, I never advanced, in fact, I 
went backward if not for other side businesses...   For Instance all 
that money I make farming.....
