Our near brush with the law….

Today, we needed to fill up our tank of gas. (Earlier in the A.M. in Grove City, OH, unleaded gas was $3.83 a gallon.) So, we found a great little place with gas at $3.75. After some difficulty figuring out how to use our credit card at the pump, we finished filling our tank. But no receipt was offered. So I went inside to get a receipt for my records. I got to the cashier and stated that I would like the receipt for pump #1. He looked at his computer, then said, I had no receipt because I hadn’t paid for the tank of gas! I was a bit shocked, as my sister and I could have just driven off thinking that we had paid for our tank of gas! Can you imagine what would have happened? One of you, our readers, would have gotten a phone call letting you know that we needed to be bailed out of jail somewhere in the middle of good ‘ol Kentucky.

Luckily, I paid for our gas and off we went - legally!
