yikes. I have no memory of how this book made it to my bookshelf

8. Oh, I have many stories about things showing up,

or things disappearing. In your case, there is someone out there with several cats who is smug about how little her cats shed. But that's because HER cat fir is somehow going to your home.

Here's the thing. When it's something like cat fur, those you tell that you have much more showing up than can be accounted for by your cats simply think that you are nice, but deluded. Cats really do shed a lot. But they are wrong.

Things really do get moved around in strange ways.

Here's another story of mine:

Some years ago I needed to get gas. It was a very windy day. I stopped at a gas station about ten miles from home, not a gas station I normally go to. I prefer to pay cash for my gas, so I pulled out a twenty dollar bill, placed it on top of my car and secured it with my keys. It was a very windy day. I bet you can guess where this story is going. Halfway through pumping the gas, I realized that the wind had snatched my twenty dollar bill and sent it off somewhere. I was quite annoyed at myself as I should have known better, It really was a very windy day. Fortunately, I had another twenty dollar bill with me so I could pay for my gas.

About two weeks later I checked my mail around the time my mailman should have been by. The mail hadn't arrived yet, but there was a twenty dollar bill in my mailbox.
