How Did this Happen??

On Sunday, I was heading home from Pam's.

I had left Lee there so he could catch his

flight back to San Francisco on Monday.

When I got to Buffalo, I decided to put gas on my car.

I felt I had enough to get home, but for some reason,

I just thought, "may as well get gas."

I filled up the tank and went on my way.

Once I had passed St. Cloud I noticed

ominous clouds to the west.

Someplace between Albany & Sauk Centre

the weather turned wicked enough so that I pulled over.

The winds were fierce and the rains were torrential,

to say the least.

Eventually I was able to continue on home with

no further problem.

On Tuesday, I took my car to Fergus,

to go to Wal-Mart.

When I got out of the store,

I opened my trunk to put my groceries in.

As I opened the trunk, the gas cap

slid to the ground.

Now, how did this happen?

I got gas in Buffalo, 160 miles from home!

I suppose I must have neglected to put the

gas cap back on after getting gas.

BUT...

I drove 65-70 miles per hour,

I was in the middle of a major storm,

and the gas cap didn't fall off?

Did the gas cap stay on the hood of the car, wedged on the

luggage rack (on the trunk)?

Doesn't seem possible, but maybe...

OR...

Was somebody tampering with my gas tank at Wal-Mart?

Had someone tried to siphon gas after I got home?

It didn't seem like my gas tank was emptier than

it should have been for the miles traveled.

I  guess this is just one of those weird,

unexplainable things.

But next time, I will double-check

to make sure

I have replaced the gas cap!
