I bought the world's most expensive gas cap.

I lost mine (forgot to put it back on) a few weeks ago.
I went back to the gas station the very next day to find it,
but it was gone, but I found another!
It was not the right size, but it was better than none at all
until I got around to buying a replacement.

Last week my 'malfunction" light came on on the dashboard.
I freaked, wondering if it was my engine.
I looked it up in the owner's manual to find that
this light comes on when one has "lost a gas cap".

Whew!

So this weekend I drove to an auto parts store
to get another one.
On the way I passed a recently occurred accident,
one involving injuries for an ambulance was there,
plus the police.

I was relieved I had not left a little earlier for it could have been me.

I get to where I thought the auto place store was supposed to be,
but there was no sign.
I drove into the back parking lot and
hear a "thump, thump, thump".

Freak out!

It's a Saturday on a holiday weekend!
Who will be available to save me?
What if my engine is dying on me?
I can't afford this!

I pull back into the street, hoping it was just the pavement in the parking lot.
Nope, it was my car.
I pulled in to the adjoining gas station, got out and found that I had a major flat tire,
with a chuck of metal attached to it.

After calling AAA, and going to two tires stores
to find the same brand tire to replace the tire I bought
just a year ago, tha gas cap cost $110.00

I am forever search of my favorite donut.

It does exist.
I found it in my small college town in western Pennsylvania.

It was raspberry filled, glazed with vanilla icing on top.

TO DIE FOR!

Home in eastern PA, I cannot find them anywhere.
I have searched high and low.
All we have here is Dunkin Donuts.
Not a Mom and Pop donut shop anywhere!

The closest there is, is Krispy Kreme's raspberry donut,
but, alas, they have no icing on top.
It must have the icing.

So my nephew is going to college in Pittsburgh
and I just gave him the mission to find them.

I sent a co-worker on the same mission,
when his daughter went to school in Iron City.
He never even tried to find them.

Should I tell my nephew that his inheritance depends
on him finding these donuts?
Just joking!


His picture's above, when he was a wee lad.
Wasn't he adorable?
