This week with ARC

Two trips this week for ARC.  Both into Washington.  Monday was just a short distance north on I-5 (exit 16) in Ilani Casino.  We couldn't believe the number of cars in the parking lot.  Evidently it is doing very well even with CoVid 19.  The location on I-5 half-way between Portland and Olympia helps too.   Picked up 6 boxes at 7:30 and drove back south.
   Wednesday was a longer journey north.  To Aberdeen.   I-5 north to exit 88, then west on Hwy 12 for 40 miles.  Not knowing the traffic situation, we had left with plenty of time and arrived at the VFW hall where the blood drive was being held an hour early.  I checked in and we went to find food.  We returned at our scheduled pickup time (7:15) and they were packing up.  By 7:45 we had packed up, and gassed up and were on the road.  Smooth sailing most of the way.
    We were cruising south on I-5, Randa was drivng, in the fast lane and came upon a green Jeep Compass in the middle lane.  The car in front of us sped up, changed lanes all the way to the third lane, and slowed down until it was alongside the Jeep.  After a few minutes it took off down the road.  I was watching this maneuver and so I saw why the interest.  A silver gas nozzle was sticking out of the gas door on the right side of the Jeep.  It made me smile to think of what might have happened to get this end result.  How do you drive off without putting the nozzle back in the pump?  Did she not pay?  Did she get a receipt?   Was she on drugs or just stupid?
