I had just gotten home after a dangerous return to a bed and breakfast where my office was hosting a reception. Made the 25 mile drive home, started pulling stuff out of the car, when I realized my camera bag was not there. Complete and utter panic. Called the B&B, got no answer Jumped back in car and broke a couple of traffic laws. Got there to find the bag on the patio where I had left it while winding down after the event with associates from office. I am a very lucky and relieved camper. Got home just in time to see the Hurricanes tie the Sabres, only to lose in overtime. I'm afraid I stole their luck. I'm wishing you some luck, too.
