Was (is) this your taste?

I can totally remember those sadly, to this day they are just not for me. And yes I endured the oil/gas embargo. I was working at a shell gas station trying to survive when they were so popular. The owner asked me the first day if I smoked? Of course I thought he was referring to pot! Hah! He then handed me a bic lighter and told me always stand on the island so they could not open the door and knock me over. Then he explained If some one gave me grief point the gas nozzle in car with bic lighter in other hand. He was very serious and I was just thinking whew glad he didn’t figure out I was smoking pot on breaks! Hah! I later found out his niece was shot while working station at night. We drag raced the wreckers when he left with the station across the street! Twin booms 55 Chevy wreckers we topped out at about 40 mph but made a lot of noise getting there! Life was simpler then.
