Meandering East

I decided to take it easy coming home. Even though I could have made it home today, I didn't. Now I'm about two hours away so I'll be home Sunday morning.

After last night's hotel direction problem which didn't turn out to be much of a problem, I thought I'd used up all my good luck, but something else happened today. I had my camera out this morning to take a photo of the clean dump I stayed in last night:

My room #204

Later that morning I stopped to get gas and was tidying up the car, getting rid of the trash, and I realized I couldn't find my camera. Looked under the seats, in the back seat, between the seats. I knew I had it this morning and ran out of places to look.

Then I remembered the trash bag. I had taken the wastebasket liner from the hotel room this morning to gather up the trash, put it on the passenger seat, along with my purses, camera, etc. I went back to the trash can at the pump, took out my bag, and yes, there was my camera. Luckily it just had a bit of schmutz on it, but it was fine -- or so I thought. It started doing crazy things, and then I realized the battery was running out, but now I've charged it and all is well. It would have really annoyed me to have lost it and I thank the garbage angels or whatever force was at work.

Mabye this license plate rubbed off on me. I don't know what it means, but I love having -- and wishing you -- 4X Grace.
