David's stroke club held the first meeting of the new year. It was
focused on a practical issue - funerals. Their speaker gave them the
skinny on important data. He tells us the price of gas has increased in
New Zealand. We do live a global economy. That is the US is not the only
location that has seen increases. Finally he touches on the less serious
