Nice guys!

Around 3pm today, I went to pick up the 77 yr old owner of the place I work since he can not drive for another few weeks. He lives out of the city where gas is cheaper, so I stopped for gas after I got him. After getting the gas, I am driving along and we hear a strange noise, I look around and don't notice anything. After a 1/2 mile down the road this guy in a huge black pick up truck motions to us. Another car honks and points at the back of my car.

Finally I notice my gas door is still open and I realize that noise was my gas cap flying off the car. I turn in across the blvd trying to decide, do I go back and look for it on a busy road or just close the door and go on? The owner and I are discussing it when the guy in the black pick up comes back. He tells me he thinks he knows where it is, he saw it fly across the medium. I am thankful I didn't hurt anyone.

So with the pick up in front, me following we slowly drive up the shoulder looking for the gas cap. The guy in the pick up finds it! brings it over, and screws it on my car, I never even got out of my car. I thank him profusely and he tells me it happened to his wife a few weeks ago and gas caps cost like $20 so he was glad to do it.

Then after work I call a friend of mine, and her husband gets on the phone and asks if he gets the tickets do I want to go with them to hear the The 5 Browns if he can get tickets. I said Yes! of course. I think he is actually going with us, normally I end up going in his place when he doesn't want to go to something. So far thanks to him I have seen some pretty strange stuff that was amazing including a benefit with Charlotte Church as the entertainment- she was lots of fun, and Neil Diamond-who had great seats for those in wheelchairs, which I was in at that point.
