ENERGY CRISIS

High prices give me gas, but not like back in the day

Waiting in endless lines was a fact of life 40+ years ago

Seen: Youngish moi, waiting for a local service station — back when they actually provided “service” — to refill pumps during a 1970s gas shortage.

Heard: I was working on a story about the energy crisis. Ran out of gas on my way to the newsroom. Coasted in on fumes. Coincidence/Irony? This former high school English teacher would like to know.

Noted: My Personalized License Plate Period. Previously had the tag “Moker” on Mom’s Chevy SS.

Quoted: It’s bad now, but nothing like then.

One take on today: “Maybe gas prices are up because oil companies keep spilling their oil everywhere.” Susan. B Nursing on Twitter
