MIA, Part II

I am slightly embarassed. After giving the camera up for dead, and making the decision that it was time to move on and purchase a new one I opened the trunk to my car yesterday, and tucked under the jumper cables, assorted tools, golf clubs and frisbee was the missing camera! I still don't think I am a careless person (and I am a bit ashamed that I placed blame on others, but I can't remember for the life of me opening my trunk that night, or even thinking that the truck would be a good place for a camera ever! I have also opened it several time since, and didn't spot it. Needless to say, in the end, it's a great relief to have the ol' camera around again.

MIA

The missing item




So a few weeks ago I made the decision to purchase a digital camera with part of my tax return. I went with the Nikon Coolpix 4600. It's a great camera, lightwieght, multiple point and shoot options for various conditions, a decent movie mode, etc. I knew all this when I purchased it, but I am not sure that the person who either a. picked it up and walked off with it at Stroud's, or b. took it out of my car the following night knew all these things. I am pretty pissed, almost more at myself for being careless with it than whomever has it in his/her possesion now. This occurred last Saturday, and I have finally come to grips with it. Goodbye sweet tax return, Goodbye another $250 bucks to replace it.
