A "different breed of cats" back then. We were used to hardships due to the 1929 BigDepression that lasted for about 10 years. So rationing was no big deal. Cant help but
wonder if many of the newer and softer generations could exist with it. I hope we never have to find out. Can you imagine the 35 MPH speed limit to save tires and gas
for one thing . The "A" gas stamp book for non-essential workers for 3 gals. per week?
Even essential workers were closely rationed. Wont go into food ETC.
Joe; talk about old times, remember the WPA and the CCC. Pot belly stove
in the middle room woodburning cook stove and in the city we had to either
go to the river for drift wood or get R.R. ties that didn't have creosote
for the cookstove buy a ton of coal for the potbelly. Plus the fact that
we were a little different in color didn't help matters much but Joe those
were the best years of my life. I could go on and on but I think you get
the picture. I am a happy ole dogface and I tell the wife that I have my
best FREINDS on this site, including a pleasently mature gal. see ya all. Roque
