It was more than just TV. I don't know about Canada, not what happened up there, but I remember us going to the store and the shelves were getting pretty bare. I mean, you go down a little aisle, toilet paper was a big one. It wouldn't be around anywhere. But canned goods, spaghetti, just about everything was lacking in supply and so people were panicking. I remember also diapers and formula were another big thing. My grandson had just been born and so when I'd go out on my trips, I would hit any major place I could find just to find diaper wipes and Pampers or some kind of diaper of some sort. So there was rationing in the United States. It was self-made. We didn't have the transportation to get all the stuff to the stores. It was a bad time, but I'd call that rationing. Shortages, things like that.
