Yep, that's me in that blue Ford, barely a teenager, with my newly minted DL in hand and places to go, people to see but stuck in Jimmy Carter's oil embargoed gas line.
Hard to believe those were better days looking at that picture, but I'd like to go back...if there was no disco.

Yep, the good ol' days of waiting until 2:00am to visit the local all nighter because the gas lines were shorter at that time of the day...
Gas cap locks were REAL popular too.

Disco wasn’t really that bad.

Yeah, Hussein even makes Carter look good. A bit OT, but at least Carter tried to get our hostages out of Iran, Hussein is not doing a thing with Iran now. Gas, I remember those lines too, in 1979, I turned 13 that summer. I remember the odd/even days here in Pennsylvania. I remember late that summer, I spent a couple of days at grandma's with my cousins form Ohio. They went home but since my mother had to work, single parent, she need to save gas so I ended up staying an extra 3 or 4 days, I came close to missing the first few days of junior high school. BTW, I love disco.

I was listening to The Kinks, “Low Budget,” back then. I’m thinking about downloading it. Happy days are here again.
