hi y'all,
well, jr. and me are back at home in florida and glad of it. but on our trip from fort carson, colorado, we stopped in louisianna to see my cajun cousins and eat some good cajun cooking, the first i have had in over 7 years. after our 3 day visit we left baton rouge and headed out on the interstate 12 highway. we stopped at a gas station in hammond, la. to fill the tank of jr.'s ford explorer. it was down to about 1/4 of a tank and could hold about 22 gallons full. we pulled into a station called 'racetrack' and up to the middle pump. jr. got out and swiped his bank card into the pump and i proceeded to pump the gas while he went into the store to buy something to drink. while pumping the gas, i noticed the digits on the money were not matching the gallons i was pumping. i had almost 10 gallons of gas, but only about $3.00 u.s. dollars in purchases and was still pumping. the price per gallon was supposed to be $2.69. so i looked at the price on the pump's meter and to my surprise, it had been set to $0.269 u.s. dollars/gal. or about 27 cents/gal. . well, soon the manager came out to stop the other person in front of us after i had finished pumping and finished getting my automated receipt. too late, all paid for, $4.07 for 15.1 gallons of gas. now talk about dumb cajun luck. guess someone is going to lose a job now plus a big paycheck because a lot of gas must have been pumped before that mistake was found. and here is an image of the receipt to prove my story.
a bientot,
cajunsr.

p.s.-you bet i'll come again when they hire this guy back.
