Dusty, where there's a will there's a way. You can hobble around while working on your car. I know 'cause I did it.

Or someone went looking for the water they know they left there and could not find it?

Nah. Doubt that. It was down a bank, along the road, upside down, in the grass, in a ditch, in the middle of nowhere. Probably fell off a truck. But, now that you brought up this possibility, my fond recollection of that day will be tarnished with guilt.

Which reminds me of another story. The same friend I was traveling with on that day, was driving around the countryside on another day, during the MARC National Tour in Charlottesville, VA. They were on a backcountry road in the middle of nowhere, traveling back from Walton's mountain, and a bra was hanging in the weeds along the road. Now, explain that!

It blew off the front of one of those foreign cars. I never thought car bras made sense anyway.

Eh, the company I work for is located on the edge of a swamp and I watched a couple of teenagers come out of the woods with the girl covered in mud and the boy had a big smile on his face. Perhaps sometimes they leave stuff behind?

Dusty, Sorry to hear about your misfortune! I'm the guy that posted the picture some time ago of my chest, moments after I was hit with the Zenith carb I had on my drill press and it broke loose from my grip. I now have the scars in the shape of a Zenith bowl right in the middle of my chest. Get well soon brother---Pete.

Someone hung their laundry on the front of their car to dry and forgot to remove it? That happened to me once.
