More Proof (As If Any Was Required)

That I lead a charmed life.

Last month I lost a pistol. It wasn't a big deal, just a beater that I carried sometime. Lost, stolen, I don't know. A two week search of home, cars, and shop yielded no joy.

I decide to go to the SO after lunch and file a lost/stolen firearm report. Had lunch at a Chinese buffet. The fortune cookie said "Be troubled not by what you cannot control, you will have happier life". Wow! I needed lotto tickets for this month anyway, so off to Florida I go. I'll use the numbers on the fortune for one pick.

I get my lotto tickets and win a hundred off a $2 scratcher. That paid for my lotto tickets. [;)]

On the way home (Hwy 31, two lane country road), I'm riding as still pissed about losing a pistol, but then I think that's just nature telling me to pull my head out of my ass and pay attention. So I sit up straight and refocus.

NOT MORE THAN 30 SECONDS LATER, I'm traveling at 80 MPH, less than 100 yards in front, a brown pickup towing a long cattle trailer comes tearing out of a hidden side road.

I'm decelerating almost immediately and there is no problem. The dumbass turns left at the next road. The trip home is uneventful.

A deputy takes my report and I'm back at home.

Life is such an adventure and I wonder how people who have no life stand it? [:p]

    Wow! I wonder how many people walked right over them? I forgot to mention, at the SO, I found three one dollar bills on the ground where I parked. [8D]

    I thought you were going to say that when you hit the brakes, the pistol
    came sliding out from under the seat.[:D]

    I wish it was in the car! Hell, in the search, I found a pair of Steiner binocs I'd lost, a Luger holster, all sorts of stuff I hadn't seen in years. [:D]

    I'm thinking a "friend" may have lifted it out of the shop. Stupid, because I would loan to a friend for the asking.
    However now that both of you have mentioned it coming out from under the seat, I'll re-search the car tomorrow. That's the way stuff works for me if I'm smart enough to pick up the clues. Thanks!
