Garfield on the "Oil Crisis"

A lot of folks cannot understand how we came to have an oil shortage in the United States, a country uncommonly rich in natural resources.

Well, here's a very simple answer.

Nobody bothered to check the oil.

We just didn't know we were getting low.

The reason for that is purely geographical.

Our oil is located in: Alaska, California, coastal Florida, coastal Louisiana, coastal Alabama, coastal Miississippi, North Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas.

Our dipsticks are in Washington, DC.

West Hollywood, 1979. My daughter and I roller skated here on very rare occasions. That was in another life and a few years later. Michael Nesmith of the Monkees: his mother "invented," holds the patent for, "White Out," something we don't see much any more.

Mike Nesmith was incredibly talented. He also wrote this song:

Different Drum, Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys
