The Clancy Brothers and "Bringing Home the Oil."

Is that a cheerleader ?

It looks like the marching band lost a majorette.

Seeing that outfit brings back memories. I was in silks (flags). We had to wear boots like that with the tassles. And we weren't allowed to wear pantyhose--it didn't matter how cold it was. Brrr.

The days of .19 cent gas and full service.

My daughter and I drove past a gas station last night that usually has the cheapest prices around. She saw that the price of gas is going up steadily--about 10 cents since last weekend. All the sudden she realized that in less than 2 weeks she is going to have to pay for her own gas. Now she understands why I look at the price before I buy it.

I'm afraid to see what gas prices will be in the next month. I live in a oil state. I can't imagine how much it will be up north.

We are in PA near Philly. At least there is a big refinery around here but it never seems to matter.

Gas went from $2.69 last week to $2.73 over the weekend. Then to $2.79 now it is $2.83. One station I saw was $2.89. So 20 cents in just a week. Nuts.

Here in the Dallas area it's around $2.69

That employee in front of the mechanic's bay appears to have a cigarette in his mouth. Doesn't he know that the pumps have flammables?

If they knew then...

Reminds me of the gas station that Johnathan Winters trashed in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World." Classic!

$3.05 in my town.

$2.79 here

Wait a minute...

Did Ladyhay just say she used to wear boots and tassles?

LOL. Yes I did. Maybe that is when JHC fell for me.

That and the yellow dress with the buttons all the way down.

BTW---gas went up 2 more cents since yesterday.

Went up 4 more cents since this morning. So that is 26 cents in a week.

Uuhmmmm..... yaaaa.... we're going to need to see some pictures of you in your band dork outfit, with the boots and tassles.

JD

hehehe

John, those pictures were destroyed years ago.

Gas just went up another 6 cents overnight. It should be over $3.00 by the end of the week.

I'm just north of you and it's been $3.05 for at least a week.

"Back when I was a boy........."

Used to fill my tank, buy a pack of smokes, and go to a movie for less than five bucks total.

Of course I only had about a six gallon gas tank.....
