It's not Friday, but just go to the highrise Holiday Inn in
Emeryville, California--to the Chevron station there and ask
for the gas cap that I left there a year ago.

I made it from January '82 to May '99 with the stock gas
cap.  I had left it in Colorado Springs for 2 days and
Fruita, Colorado for 5, but always managed to pick it back
up.  But, well, I wasn't going back to Emeryville when I
discovered it in the Sierras.  Bought a locking one in
Reno.  Can't drive off without it since the key is with
the ingnition key....
