My family's meals (groceries, restaurants) budget has doubled in two years even as we've made a concerted effort to eat out (usually casual family-friendly joints) only once a week or less and meal plan every week. Drowning.

This is the fact of most civilizations. The recipe fed from royalty to peasant: fear breaking the law, fear evil dissenters, fear financial ruin, fear alternate governance, fear what you don't know.

The retooled—and decidedly less top-heavy—Suns have looked solid over the last 5 games, but it's against teams that are either bottom dwellers or have injured stars. They now face a tough stretch against the Hawks (8-5), Wolves (7-4), Spurs (8-3), Rockets (7-3), Thunder (12-1), Nuggets (9-2).
