I'm so old that I had my very own ration stamp books during WWII. Matter-of-fact, I still have one of them. Some of you may not know what ration books are/were. Bet Doc Harris can explain. I'm still living my dream: checking my black cows every day.

32, but I too am paying the price of competetive sport and general stupidity of my youth.

I'm just over twice that and I'm paying for my youth too.
I heard a song the other day about some guy lamenting about some of the stupid things he'ld done and claimed "I'ld change a lot of things, starting with me". That's just BS for most people. I mean if I'ld spent my entire life in prison that would be one thing. But the general body abuse, the month in jail, car wrecks, boosing, chasing skirts and all of the other things that this guy claimes to want ot have changed is all of the stuff that goes into the individual you become. My oldest brother has never even so much as had a parking ticket, has more money then is decent and I wouldn;t trade any of his life for mine. I'm surprised he didn;t die from boredom.

I know what song you mean, it starts out, "I had a one night stand, with my best friends baby sister, to this day he still won't talk to me" First time I heard that song I thought it was kind of lame, still think its not the greatest song out there.

Cowdirt-
You bet your life I can explain! Rationed; shoes, sugar, Tires, and Gasoline "A" stamps, "B" stamps, and "C" stamps! You were alloted only a certain number of gallons of gasoline for a specific period of time (three months at a time) according to your "priority" as a War Time business. They had "T" stamps for tractors and trucks. And it was NOT because there was not enough gas. It was because of the lack of rubber coming from South America, and they didn't have the kind of tire formulas that they do now. You were lucky to get 15,000 miles from a set of tires then. And they were not "Steel Belted Radials" either. Lousy tires. And the universal speed limit was 35 miles per hour. My Model "A" Ford got 21 miles per gallon, and gas was $.18 per gallon! In order to buy tires, you had to get "Permission" from the County Ration Board. How "Politically Corrupt" do you think THAT turned out to be?? I used to kick the car out of gear and "coast" down hills to save gas. That was when "Re-capping" tires began - IF you still had a good tire casing to put it on! Wheel Balancing?? What the heck was that? Was no such thing. AND - there was no such thing as Tubeless Tires! So every tire had to have tubes inside. If your tubes were shot, you were SOL. Everybody had a bicycle tire pump in their car. You think you have it tough now? Try going back and living THEN!
