Lost and Found

\"lost

I had a lost and found incident today; and I\’m lucky it was lost and FOUND; not plain lost.

I rode to the salvage store, as I so often do on Saturdays. My raid on the grab-bag bins unearthed several single-serve packs of NUT-rition; but no FitCrunch bars. That was a disappointment; but I made a good buy on Kind bars!

Today I got almond milk; some canned goods; and some packaged goods. I went through the check-out; and loaded up the trailer for the trip home. And now comes the \”lost\” part.

Shortly after I was home, I discovered that my \”wallet\” (actually a small plastic bag) was not in my blouse pocket, where I usually put it. I checked to see whether I had put it in the bike trunk; but it wasn\’t there. It wasn\’t in any of my other pockets; and it wasn\’t in any of the bags from the store.

Well, wasn\’t that just wonderful. If I had managed to drop that wallet on the way home, it might be anywhere; and it might be impossible to find it! It\’s almost 5 miles from here to the store; and that\’s a lot of ground. But, first things first. I called the store, and asked whether they had my wallet; and sure enough, they did! Found!

Rare Sight

It was a nuisance to have to go back to the store, but at least I got my property back; and if I hadn\’t had to make that trip, I would have missed a big treat.

On the way home, I spotted a solar halo! That\’s quite a rarity. The halo was a full 360 degrees; and had rainbow colors in it! It lasted a long time, too; and was still visible when I reached home about half an hour later.

So maybe lost and found isn\’t all bad, after all.
