I was 15 years old that year. I was too young to drive but remember sitting in the car with my father for about an hour just to get gas. Lines went around the block.

My parents were also the good citizens to actually put the thermostat to 55 degrees at night. I had layers of blankets and a space heater by my bed to get up in the morning with. I could see my breath when I got up in the morning!

I had to get up really early too as I had a morning paper route. That's another thing you don't see today - kids delivering the morning paper. Now it's middle-aged divorced men driving in mini-vans.
