You knew I was talking about you under "marvelous people I would never meet in real life." And under "terrific books," I'll probably stay up all night reading My Name Is Asher Lev.

Someone I met today went home with the start of a story. I drove my new classic sports car to church this afternoon (to pick up Sally from the missions-fundraiser yard sale), and stopped for gas. As I was pulling in to the station, I realized I didn't know which side the gas tank was on! So I waved at an SUV passing me, and a woman about my age put the window down. "Excuse me, is the gas tank on this side of the car? I haven't driven it in 30 years!"

She said, "You look 30 years younger in it! and yes, it's on this side."

Re: where the gas tank is. I read this recently under the heading of “We're not as smart as we think we are”. If you look at the gas tank icon on the dashboard, there is a little arrow beside it and it shows which side the tank fill is on. All my years driving and I never knew that!
