I had a pickup at Rocky Creek Mobile Home Park Sunday. This very nice old man wanted to go to the bank, then, to the Sweet Bay supermarket. It was the third of the month and his check was direct deposited into his account. Cool. No problem. Not so fast.
He went to the ATM and seemed to be having trouble working the machine. I decided to wait, and give him a little more time to get his money out. Then a real fear set in. What if the deposit never made it in? What if he could not get his money? What do I do?
Do I leave an old man at the bank with no money knowing he could not walk back home? What if he got killed crossing the street? That would not be good. I decided to help him out. I got out of the taxi and went to his aid.
He simply just could not understand the touch screen. Face it, he grew up in a world were this stuff did not exist. It was just beyond his ability to comprehend. He got his money and we were on our way.
In case you were wondering, I would have taken him back home for free.

I also get my seocial security check sent to the bank. For the last 8 years, never had had a problem. It gets there like clock work. Seems our President can't screw with that. Larry 157
