With all the hoarding of groceries and household supplies I can't help but recall the talks I had with my mother and father when I was not yet a teenager. They often spoke of the days when everyone had nothing! During WWII she had ration books for many items - families only got a limited amount of just about everything. I remember a road trip we took once and we had a blowout. No spare and no place to get one - tires were rationed too. These were the days that we grew up in. I am saddened by the sissy generation of young people today who believe they "deserve" to have all the things they want. Funny how ur parents and grandparents were able to adapt and survive and today people act as if the world is ending. I do have compassion for the people being put out of work and frankly think that is wrong. Maybe if we are lucky things will get back to normal soon.

Sorry for the rant,
Deane
