Gas is cheap, I can’t drive, and (hold my beer) I’m grounded.
In a Twilight Zone sort of way. A single roll of toilet paper is worth more than a barrel of oil.
Good one and true, except I can’t fit into the jeans I wore at 16 🙂
Let me see … 16 was 50 years ago (for me) – ’69-’70 – Jr in High School – met my (future and present) wife in Chemistry class. Can’t recall the price of gas – had to borrow my Mother’s Impala or my Dad’s Camaro or my Brother’s shitty Ford – but I’m sure you could go a long way on a few dollars. Don’t remember if I was still working at the Ft. Myers Mess Hall ($1.81/hr) then – about 4 AM till school started – and I had to pay John for a ride out to NoVa and back to school.
“Good Ole Days” my aunt Katie.
Oh! I live in rural MO – we still ain’t “grounded.” Rural folks (mostly) seem to have more sense.
izlamo delenda est …
Hmm. Can’t argue with that.
I haven’t agreed to being grounded now and told my church friends: “They’ll need to declare Martial Law and block the roads to stop me from working”. We would have different work to do at that point.
When I was 16 I left home and moved to Wisconsin with my girlfriend’s family. I fully owned my own car, so it couldn’t be taken away from me.
I can see the parallel. Don’t tread on me.
This principle applies at all times.

It was about 25 cents a gallon in Ontario.Don’t even want to broach the subject of what i was doing at that time.

25 cents a gallon is what I remember back then, grew up in east Texas… and it was kinda difficult to keep my “63” rust bucket Chevy pickup feed.
Buck eighty-nine yesterday.
I’ve reverted back to my teenager days sort of. A lot they’ve said you can’t do I’ve done. I have gathered with way more than 10 people, I’ve broken their 9 p.m. curfews(although I almost never go out at night), I’ve went to their parks and walked on the playgrounds. I’ve went into the stupid grocery stores with their one way arrows and walked the wrong way on every aisle and I’ve taken my grandkids with me into stores with their one person one cart rule. I haven’t worn a mask. Although with all these stores that now after almost 2 months of this are starting to make rules that you must wear “masks or face coverings” I’m thinking of wearing halloween masks or camo hoods into their stores just to be a smart ass. I won’t be buying anything though as my money won’t go to idiots willingly.
Had one gas station tell me my grandson couldn’t use the bathroom, so I took him back to the truck, opened the door and told him to piss in their lot.
Yeah, 16 again, except instead of zits I’ve got wrinkles.

Sis? Is that you?
I say try a hockey or baseball catcher’s mask.
I’ve been in stores where I’m the only one without a mask and the same day go to a store where no one was wearing a mask or gloves.
Yesterday was the most I’ve seen of people out walking that had no mask with them, It’s stupid when you’re out on a walk. wtf Though not as bad as wearing your “public touch” gloves while driving. Idiots.

I was a hard charging YUPPY. in my 2nd year of new home. Because I was neither dumb nor lazy I never paid more than $0.119 a gal for gas. LATimes rann a 2 page “gas war” ad in the center of their front section listing stations fighting the war. If you paid more than $0.119 it was because you could not read or were lazy!
My city went Ronny at least 70% in every election. So you should not be surprised to hear we are all “out + about”! I walk my dog 4 miles daily. See many folk in cars, on bikes, running or walking. Less than 10% are “Freetos Banditos”!
In my SoCal city being conservatives in NOT UNIQUE! A reason I’ve been here 52 years!
@Dadof4,
I’ve been going to different towns and am learning some towns have more mask wearers and more stores with arrows than others.
About 80% of the time it’s those who look to be under 40 wearing them and their rubber gloves.
