Three weeks ago I spent Sunday evening tracking down a guy who lost his wallet in a crosswalk at Constitution Avenue between the Washington Monument and the White House – and tonight two ladies from Georgia found my wallet on a trail in Fort Collins, and brought it to me. It apparently fell out of my pocket while I was riding, and I didn’t even know it was missing.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

The good life seems to follows if we:
1. Just do the next right thing
2. Without expecting the results
I’ve noticed the same thing.
You may appreciate Maya Angelou’s insight:
“Each of us has lived through some devastation, some loneliness, some weather superstorm or spiritual superstorm. When we look at each other we must say, I understand. I understand how you feel because I have been there myself. We must support each other because each of us is more alike than we are unalike.”

The exact same misfortune happened to me in Kathmandu back in 1974, and I never carried a wallet in my back pocket since.
Good thing you didn’t lose your wallet in Washington DC. There is a difference between the civility culture in Ft. Collins and that commonly found in DC.
Now, just maybe, “Pay It Forward” does work. Loved that movie.
Indeed!
Hi Stephen,
I wanted to say a couple of things. First, you will always be Stephen to me, just as Mark Twain will always be Mark Twain. Nom de plumes can be sticky.
Second, I nominated you for a climate data analysis project.
