You Can Not Make this Up.
One very hot summer day we were going to our annual Family Reunion in Hastings, Nebraska. We landed and rented a car from a big national car company in Omaha. Carrie was driving and also in the car were our Florida sister, Yvonne and niece, Natalie. Driving down a long stretch of cornfield lined state road and it was really in the middle of nowhere. The temperatures all week had been in the 107-112 degrees and this day was no different. It was blistering hot! But we were on a mission to go to Lebanon, Kansas over the state line to visit the geographical center of the United States.
Suddenly we noticed a police car with lights flashing traveling at a high speed in the review mirror. Carrie pulled over on this narrow 2 lane road to let him pass. Surprisingly he stopped right behind our car. We all were shocked and bewildered! We hadn’t noticed even another car for over 20 miles on this road. The officer walked up to the car with his hand on his gun.
He shouted, “Get out of the car with your hands visible!” The next thing we knew Carrie was handcuffed. The officer looked at all of us with a squinted eye.Then the officer told us that this car had been reported stolen by the rental company. We laughed and showed him the rental papers. This mean cornhusker cop was not amused and made Carrie sit in the back of his police cruiser for over 2 hours in the very hot 110 degree plus Nebraska sun. We just sat in the car. We thought it might be a Nebraska “Book em Dano” experience. My darling sister wanted a bottled water that was in a cooler in the trunk. My niece thought and advised her mother otherwise!
He had to have the rental company verify the car was not indeed stolen. Not only was the car reported stolen from St Louis, MO but had the wrong license tags on the rented vehicle we were driving. OMG!!!!
He was nice enough to let us keep the supposedly stolen vehicle until we went back to the Omaha Airport in 2 days. And sure enough they had a tow truck waiting to take the car away on our arrival.
When back in Tampa we called the car rental company and told them what had happened. They just laughed and said, “This happens all the time.”
We have never used this big name car company again. NOT FUNNY! NOT FUNNY!!!

You Can Not Make This Up.
It was a hot Saturday July afternoon. The balcony bar at Hamburger Mary’s had 8 favorite local regulars all having a fun time. Then in walked a straight couple with 2 high end tech bicycles. You could hear the whole bar say “WOW” all together.
The newly arrived guy was smoke’n HOT and his wife was a cutie too. They ordered a couple beers and started to chill’n out. Then one of the Gay regulars ordered them a couple beers. The couple invited the guys to join them. Turned out they were very friendly and fun outgoing people too. After several more rounds the group decided to head over to Bradley’s on 7th.
The straight couple asked if they could join them too. So off they all went. After a couple more hours go by I was looking over the balcony checking out the 7th Ave. scene. Here comes the group all in a party mode. A couple of the guys were riding the couples bikes and the couple was no where. I quickly call the gay guys cells to find out what happened. The couple had gotten cocktailed and said, “You look like nice guys. Would you mind taking our bikes home. We will call a cab and pick the bikes up later this week.”
They are all now good friends. It’s crazy how you meet people sometimes.
