A family member related this pair of anecdotes.
On Thursday, while gassing up at Wawa, he was approached by a man with a hard-luck story who said he just needed $10 for gas to get home. The family member gave him the money -- and spent the rest of the day and night kicking himself for being conned.
The next day, he was out on his bike and a stick on the road, downed by the storm, jumped up and attacked his bike's derailleur, putting it out of commission and stranding him six miles from home. A passing motorist stopped to help, just happened to have a vehicle big enough to accommodate the bike, and gave him a ride all the way home.
A family discussion resulted: Were the two incidents related?
