In Time Enough For Love, Robert Heinlein has the main protagonist Lazarus Long opine that once a place is crowded enough to require identification, it's probably time to think about moving on to different locales. I resembled that remark in spades today.
For reasons that aren't clear, I've misplaced an identification, and this one has avoided location for longer than these sorts of events usually last. I've searched everywhere I can think to search including pawing through a trash can and doing a thirty minute spot of dumpster diving. I did not take the plunge onto a half full six yard dumpster without trying everything I could think of first. It was pretty nasty, and I spent about half the time choking back the gag reflex.
All if it has been to no avail, so I'm left to contemplate this branch in my path that the universe has thrown my way. It's probably nothing, but it's also difficult to see this unfortunate turn of events as anything other than inconvenient. I know it's not just a hassle, but in the heat of the moment that's challenging to accept.
Tomorrow, I'll try again to rectify this loss, and I'm looking forward to sussing out the cause for this minor (I hope) fork in the road. Perhaps it's a reminder to heed the wisdom of Heinlein and cast about for a new destination. One way or another, it will be an adventure.
