It was in the front passenger seat of the pickup truck, on top of the Harry Potter CDs that haven’t quite made it back to the shelf where they belong. I kept expecting it to show up, but after it had been missing for 6 days I finally resigned myself to replacing the contents. I was on my way, having taken time off from work and everything, to the DMV in Mariposa to get a new drivers license when I peeked in the truck and saw it.
