Strange or unusual rides

Strange or unusual rides, we all have had them, sometimes things don't seem right before the fare gets in, and sometimes things look normal until they get in.

Several years ago I get sent to the Day's Inn on the strip. I get there and there is a guy with a laundry list of thrift stores he wanted to visit.

The reason for the trip, to buy phonograph records, you know the old vinyl stuff.

I take one look at his list and its all over the place, there is one in Ruskin, Brandon and Plant City plus everyone in and around Tampa.

I did something not many would do, I first talk him out of all but those in and around Tampa and put them in order, all with the meter off.

Many he was in and out of but a few he hit the Mother load with, I had picked him up just before 9 am and dropped him back at the Day's at 3:30.

The total was just under 170. and I got 200. and he bought me lunch, yeah I took a chance doing what I did but it all worked out.

My question is would you fix the list with the meter off?
