I hve been doing alot of traviling. From Port Arthur to Fort Worth, to Dallas.


The 5 of this month, I was down in Port Arthur. To vist some friends. I went to a hotel that i use to stay at all the time. The average price was $49.95 a night. But that day it was $74.00 plus tax.

The second insadent happened coming back from the Dallas Gun show this weekend.. I was half way home to Fort Worth. When I seen a older lady in her late 70, with 2 younger kids. On side of the road. So I stoped to help her. The lady told me that a tow truck was on it way. I told her that I would wait for the tow truck to show up. So I stayed until it showed up. I set thier for a few minutes, until the lady came up to my truck and told me that the tow truck driver wanted $300 to tow her car his shop. So i got out of my truck and told the *&^% tow truck driver to go @#$%himself, and get out of here. He left like a bat out of hell..... So I took a look at the lady's car.  All it was, is that the cable on her alternater cam off. So I got a nut out of my tool box and fixed....


I felt so bad for the lady I gave her some money for a room in a hotel for a week and money for food.

To find out that she was from Port Arthur, and she had no place to go... She showed my her driver Lic, which had a Port Arthur Address,>>>>


So guys if you see anyplace trying to price gouge anyone. PLease report them to the nearest police station....
