Occasionally, things come out all right.

Life. Don't talk to me about life.

While out at Canobie Lake Park yesterday with the fam, I chanced to note my Treo had shed another component of itself. I've been missing my stylus for quite a while (I go through about one a month), but I also noted my 2gig Sandisk SD card has ejected itself. This occasionally happens when I drop the Treo pretty hard - but it usually just 'unclicks' the card, and I just shove it back in. This time apparently the card had escaped completely.

There wasn't anything particularly important on it - I usually use it to move pictures from the Treo to yawl, but I have a half dozen apps installs on it also (including GeoNiche, an outstanding bluetooth GPS client specifically designed for Geocaching). The cards cost-wise are down on a par with packing material, so I was at best a little annoyed.

This morning while packing up for a week-long business + vacation trip, I glanced down in the driveway and LO! There was the SD card! Lonely from it's night out in the cold (in July?), but looking none the worse for wear. Clicking it back into the Treo brought up the familiar "Here's what's on this card!"

It's nice when things actually go your way on occasion. Even if it only involves a little $15 memory card.
