16. I remember cheap gas also

Came with a drawback, huge numbers of oilfield related industry's shut down. Oil company's laying off people right and left, some schools in Tx had to bus to other towns, due to lack of funds. Local economy's went in the dumps, effecting most towns in Tx and 10 other states. The unemployment went through the roof, in the oil producing states. States, city's and county's had to freeze salary's, cut back,and layoff.

Yep i remember those days.

Hope we don't see them again.
