Photo Friday, Little Bill

My last electric bill was $280. This is what my electric bill was in 1974 and 1975. These old bills were in my ex-boyfriend's stuff that he sent me before he died.

  2. Actually Garrett, 1974 was the Arab oil embargo, and gasoline went from 38 cents per gallon, to 56 cents per gallon. There were no price wars for gasoline in the 70's. I remember that I could only get gas on alternate days. Same with gasoline. Burp!

  4. My goodness Hostess, you were but a young girl. It seems that we had only one thing in common back in 1974. We were both drinking, one of us legally.
