Keep Those Receipts!

For a while, I had been purposely not getting receipts for my gas at gas stations. After all, I check my bank debits daily, and those receipts were just getting shredded. But now I have changed my mind, and how! Just recently, a lady in our area bought gas at a local station. By the time she got home, her car had stopped running. It turns out that a tanker truck driver had filled the tank at the gas station with diesel fuel instead of regular fuel, and her car was definitely not equipped to handle diesel. Because this lady was a meticulous record keeper, she had her receipt showing that she had paid for regular gas, not diesel, and now someone has to pay for her expensive car repairs.

By the way, there's a big secondary lesson to learn here about the fuel that we put into our own own personal "tanks". Our bodies were not designed to function on the so-called "food" most people are living on today. Think about it....crawling off my little soapbox now....
