Wallet Deodorant

I got to Ellenger last night. Home of Pete's BBQ. The one who says, "We Thanks Ya." Went to pay for the gas. But instead of a wallet, I had a stick of Speedstick Ocean Surf Scented Deodorant. The rectangle in my front pocket is usually my wallet. In my haste to leave the chaos, I put deoderant in my front pocket. My OCD-like checking was calmed by a decoy. I check often. And often do I check. Check check. I was able to scrape up $5.79 of loose change and my hidden stash for just such an emergency. I turned the car inside out looking. The place was infested with crickets. Honestly, I had crickets chirping in my car the rest of the way here (the boonies). Crickets chirping while I went over every move of the entire day.... and calling Kim and saying, "Check the medicine cabinet. Maybe JR got it. Etc."

And while writing this entry... Kim called and found my wallet in the street. I normally don't carry cash, but this time I had about $300 in the wallet. My whole body just got sleepy.

Well time to cut down a hackberry.
