Re: What $3.00+ per gallon gas buys you...
It seems like they are nothing but idiots. Kofi is corrupt and he is still there... he should be in JAIL!!!
I can not believe that we continue to fund the UN. Tell them to go screw them selves and find a new source of revenue. I believe that the UN should be a little more gratious to the USA for our support over the years. I would have thought that they would have realized by now that appeasing ruthless dictators only allows them to heal from their wounds and fight another day. The best defense is a good offense... take it to them. I have been wondering where in the Constitution does it say that we have to consult the UN in order to protect our national interest? The UN uses our money to promote an agenda that is not in our best interest... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif NOW THAT IS CRAZY!!! |

I'm glad I'm leaving for Paraguay where everything is about 30 yrs behind the US...I'm thinkin gas should be pretty cheap down there too cause the last time I checked donkeys don't run on gasoline...

Yep and now they are going to shut down the Alaska pipeline for repairs! If everyone in the US would pick 1 day a week and not fire anything that required gas how much would be saved? But the problem is demand would go down but would prices? One more thought.....pay the debt for the war we are fighting with tankers full of oil! [/ QUOTE ] Maurice, You're correct. The Alaskan pipeline will be shut down for quite a while due to excessively thin-walled pipe sections. How in Gods name did that happen? Who's minding the store? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif The west coast is probably going to suffer the most. At some point, they will take some of our gas supply from the east coast and then all hell is going to break loose. We have become so selfish as a society that I honestly doubt we could, or would, cut back on gas consumption. Just look at the rail systems in this country as compared to other nations. Look even closer at the real lack of car pooling in this country. Why? We are going to get a big one up-side the head one of these days. |

Re: What $3.00+ per gallon gas buys you...
Those kinda' pics are almost too much Rick....you gotta' take it easy on us fellas who are already pining for the old days. .
As a kid my chum's Dad owned the local Sunoco and before we were old enough to pump gas we used to feel lucky when we got to clean the washrooms or load the racks and stack the oil cans up in the front windows...just like in your pic. . The Supertest was next door and we'd hang out and 'help' there a lot too. . Our pay for the day seemed unbelievable at the time....stickers, Cokes and sometimes old signs. . I remember some of the best snow toboggans we ever had were those old Coke 'button' signs....a few of us could fit on the big ones but were heavy to pull up the hill so we preferred the little ones....man they'd fly especially if you got one that wasn't too rusty and had a lot of the porcelain finish still on them! . Try and get kids today to work and have fun like that and they'd probably tell you to....well you know what? . In later years I worked at the Texaco, the Shell then the Gulf....man I can still almost smell that old grease smell on a hot summer day? . Bing-bing....fill up the Caddy Leon and I'll get the Oldsie! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif ~ Pete |

Bing-bing is Canadian for Ding-ding.
