Picture of the day:
Above show that some people are talking gas prices lately ;-)
. ..... ....... .............. .............
Before hand: I loved the comments on the past few posts you guys are good at that stuff. THANKS!
For today:
When I was born 1939, gas was 20 cents a gallon.
Gasoline has been a necessary product my entire lifetime. My parents saw a time when it was not in their area. But they watched as it became VERY necessary.
During WWII Gas, tires, Coffee, shoes, kerosene and sugar were rationed. One could only get a few gallons of gas per month. People walked a lot
more. ON THAT THOUGHT….. Y’ALL say a
prayer, we could face a World War again, I do
not want to see our Grand children go off to war. Mama watched 2 sons go, both returned thank God.
Remember 1973-74 gas shortage. We were stationed at Albany Georgia, and the base was moving to Key West, FL. So I was traveling back and forth to Key West from Albany GA. Getting a fill up was near impossible, so I waited in many lines to get a few gallons on each trip.
Some THINGS you DO NOT want to see again. The things that bring bad memories. I have had to get both our sons out of jail. That is no fun; I hope and pray THEY never have to do that for their sons and I DO NOT think they will. I blame the lifestyle I chose while raising our 2, I think it birthed some wild hair.
BUT, but there are times in our family I wish we could have back again. Times of complete bliss. The birth of our boys, the birth and youth of our grand kids.
Do you remember times in your life when all was well with you and the world? Those times make the bumps and mountains worth the trip.
I hope this is not too much ref to reality. In the news of our world today, people are killed at the drop of a hat. I can imagine the disputes over gasoline this time, would not be fist fights it most likely would-be guns.
You do not want to see this in your town, and this is NOT nuclear signs....
WITH THAT TERRIBLE THOUGHT IN MIND, in this
world the temptation to use that nuclear bomb button
to solve An international problem is TOO great.
PRAYER, better thoughts and level heads are
needed by we CITIZENS and our LEADERS.

PS: Only my opinion, but I think the USA & Israel bit
off more than they want to chew right now. I hope
they find an OFF RAMP before it passes the point of
no return.
Praying for peace and for all our military over there. May they all come home safely!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not I remember all those gas issues. I remember 9-11. I pray for peace and for our military. You know in my humble opinion - I think the issues are much more deep between USA and Israel than most people realize. I feel it is an important time in history.
ReplyDeleteLike Sandie, I remember those gas issues! People are so inclined to forget.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're wrong about the US and Israel biting off more than they can chew. It feels nice having someone with a spine in charge.
We were in Scotland during the 70's.
ReplyDeleteI remember gas prices being 28 cents at the cheap gas stations in the late 60's when I started driving.
I remember when everyone was in shock when the price of a gallon of gas went higher than a gallon of milk. I never buy milk but wonder how the cost compare today. I suspect the milk is more expensive.
