Blowin' In The Wind

There are no pictures with this posting for the below reasons:

1. How on earth could a picture ever do this scene justice? We were driving to Lake Tahoe late this afternoon (my idea-the beach sounded much more appealing than packing for our month long trip), when Dave couldn't find his cell phone, so he asked me to call his number. We quickly heard his phone ringing / vibrating but couldn't figure out where the sound was coming from. We pulled over, and yup, we had driven about 10 minutes with his cell phone on the car roof. Now, what wasn't on the roof of the car, or anywhere in the car?--Dave's wallet. On the best of days, losing a wallet with identification, credit cards, cash, social security card and everything else is really, really annoying. However, we are flying to New York tomorrow, so losing identification, credit cards, cash, social security card and everything else is a serious problem.

We decided to backtrack. Looking for a little brown wallet and / or the contents of a little brown wallet along the highway and neighborhood streets is just a little difficult and was not so successful. Dave then headed out on his bike, retracing our steps (or drive), when three punk kids asked him if he was 'Dave Schwartz'. They had found his license and credit cards in the road (THANK GOD!) and told him that the rest of his stuff was blowing around the street.

We didn't retrieve anything else that is noteworthy, and the vacation cash and social security card are gone, gone, gone. But all things considered, I think that we were really lucky-it was totally one of those freak things, and I still can't believe that Dave's license and credit cards are in our possession!

2. Our camera broke today-wonderful timing.
