A mystery from the road - Houston Herald
Something a little strange happened last Sunday while my wife, Wendy, and I were on our way to Springfield. We pulled off of U. S. 60 at the first stoplight in Seymour to gas up the truck at Casey’s General Store and pick up a couple of the scrumptious donuts the place offers. We got back onto the four-lane, and as we approached the second stop light at Seymour (the one with McDonald’s to the south and Uncle Rooster’s to the north) in the left lane, we noticed a white-haired, older man driving a pickup just ahead of us... I pulled up alongside him and Wendy rolled down her window. “Your gas cap is hanging loose,” he said. I got out and quickly observed that the gas cap was not hanging loose and the gas cap door was shut. I then realized I hadn’t even needed to pull over to confirm what I saw, because the gas door is on the driver’s side of the Ford F-150 and I could have looked into the side mirror and seen it was shut. She suggested that maybe the guy saw another vehicle with its gas cap hanging loose and somehow got confused and thought it was ours. She also brought up the fact there’s one of those fairly big trailer plug receptacles below the back bumper and a small plug hanging from a wire just below that. Source: www.houstonherald.com
