Out of gas in Murray KY on way to AZ
A guy was at Walmart trying to raise money for gas and food in a class C so some others helped out and I topped off tank. Hoping he makes it to Phoenix.

beemerphile1 I have not owned any old BMW's for 10 years now. I joined MyFitnessPal to learn more about how to eat low carb high fat for pain management since it is a lot of people there eating LCHF. Cutting out sugars and all grains knocked out the pain without meds in just 30 days over a year ago and my health is better than in the past 20 years.
On the MH owner asking for gas at WM on late Christmas eve there is no way to know the facts but if it was me I sure would not want to be parked at WM while they were closed for 36 hours. There was no red flags that jumped out at me and he seemed to be touched that others were willing to help him.
As it turned out the guy was down to 5-8 gallons of gas and there was no way I would not have left WM on Christmas Eve if it had been me with 1600 miles to go. Two tanks of gas should have got him much closer to home and hopefully he made it all of the way.
There was no way I would have given the man $100 in cash and drove off. He asked for gas and I confirmed that was a true need. I only gave him the $60 in case after he was all gassed up so with the 15 gallons in jugs he would be able to do one more fill up.
I just hope I never become so harden that I refuse to help others when I sense they are in real need. I find when I get to interview someone for 20+ minutes if they are crooks they will say about anything to get away from my questions. Actually after this guy learned I had lived in Spain when in the Navy he started to open up more even though it was in Spanish. He never asked once for cash and he knew he could get some food at WM with the $25 WM card.
Again who knows his heart but I knew mine. :)
