Back then my buddies and I were scraping together change in our pockets to buy a few gallons of gas to go cruise the A&W.

Oh man!
Kids….Speaking of throwing stones...I remember when I was quite small throwing stones at the drivers window on one of Dad's dump trucks. I finally hit it, it shattered. When my Dad spotted the window he asked if I knew anything about how it got broke...I told him Dolly did it, Dolly was our horse.
It all made sense to me at the time, I wasn't trying to break the window, I was just trying to hit it, just like throwing stones at the dinosaur on the gas pump globe. As for Dolly, she was just a horse, they'd probably do things like that, how's a horse supposed to know that it's not OK to break a window. My Dad laughed when he heard my explanation, he didn't spank me so I was sure he believed me, and I wondered what he'd do to poor Dolly.
Just think that same boy today, with that imagination, some unique logic....that kid could say something that results in his pecker chopped off and be wearing a dress, confused forever after wondering what even happened. It's dangerous times to be a kid.
You would think this administration would have to / want to do something seeing in 1.5 years there will be an election. However this administration is IMO can care less. Pushing global warming initiatives is their new fiat. Abundant affordable energy makes it difficult to put the thumb on we serfs.The Saudis and others are cutting production for the rest of the year. The squeeze is being put on the US, I wonder if we have a means to respond anymore, with depleted refinery capacity, depleted Strategic Petroleum Reserves. There'll be no question of higher fuel prices/and everything else now.
Fixed that for you.Back then my buddies and I were scraping together change in our pockets to buy a few gallons of gas to go buy a 6 pack.
Back during the OPEC shortage in the 70s, gas lines, odd even days. I worked at a Shell station. All the gas i wanted whenever i wanted it. Good Times!Yep. I remember back in the mid 80's we would each throw in some change and get $3 in gas and it would last all night
I remember that. I was too young to need to buy gas but remember my mother and remembering that if your license plate ended in an odd number you could get gas on certain days and even numbers on certain daysBack during the OPEC shortage in the 70s, gas lines, odd even days.

Nah...this is their pla. Drive it up to $7/gallon then a few months before elections drop it to $5/gallon so everyone thinks they are great. That is their way. Screw you so bad that when they stop screwing us we thank themYou would think this administration would have to / want to do something seeing in 1.5 years there will be an election.

The Overton Window.Nah...this is their pla. Drive it up to $7/gallon then a few months before elections drop it to $5/gallon so everyone thinks they are great. That is their way. Screw you so bad that when they stop screwing us we thank them
What elections? Serious.You would think this administration would have to / want to do something seeing in 1.5 years there will be an election. However this administration is IMO can care less.

Ha, the stuff we got away with, kids today would not believe. Cops all knew my dad. All they had to say was “want me to tell your father?” Oh dear god officer please dont.My wife's car and mine
My wife and I had one car with an even number and the other with an odd number. If one really needed gas, I would switch the plates so that I could fill up. Thankfully I was never stopped by the police. I would have a hard time explaining.
Mowing lawns in the early Seventies; 39 cents a gallon. Remember when gas went to a dollar a gallon? We weren't sure how the pumps would work, since none of them had the ability to display more than 99.9 cents per gallon. The fix? Little "1" stickers in front of the regular price. I could drive across the state to college in my '66 Mustang for ten bucks. All of a sudden, it took twenty bucks to fill the tank. Of course, I was only making about $3.50 an hour wrenching on boats at the time.
