Thursday is upon us. The week is flying by. Buckle up for another rumble-tumble word salad from TBE!
TBE word for the day- Inflation
Some of the staff members of TBE remember when a hamburger cost 15 cents at McDonalds. Now they have home-equity loan applications under the arches, with food at the second window.

Words to live by

Thursday’s Trivia Tournament
- Which letter is representative of 50 in Roman numerals?
- Which of the following is not the name of a Golden Girl: Blanche, Sophia, or Debbie?
- Who was the first woman pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic?
That’s all we’ve got for today, little buckaroos. And to quote the great philosopher, Ranger Andy, “I hope that you enjoyed this with your family and your friends, and sing with me the longest song—- the song that never ends.” (Extra credit to anyone who knows the tune.)
All TBE readers, supporters and donors
The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.
- Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.
- Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.
- Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.
Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
