Saturday Gasoline WWIII?

 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.

Across the country it was decided you  could by gas on days you car tag was an even or odd #.



Some people got mean in the lines. One place in Florida someone cut all the gas hoses at the tanks. I saw a couple fights between men about the NEXT open tank.



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 to raise our 2 under, 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.

(This is Iran today)

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.
