[at-l] Virginia Trip - 64M card

[charles at uswnet.com (Charles Copeland)]

I was just informed that the card was intercepted on its way to the dryer - 
but did not actually go through the heat - whew!.

What makes all this even more embarrassing (if that is possible) is that *I* 
loaded the washer with my dirty hiking clothes.  She found the card when 
moving the clothes to the dryer.  (She won't get close to my dirty hiking 
stuff -- can't say I blame her - pew!)

I've been taking pictures since I was 11 (thats 31 years), including stints 
on our college yearbook and newspaper staffs and including work in my own 
darkroom downstairs.  I've probably taken 10000 pictures on film - and have 
*never* lost a negative or a roll of film or a camera.  However, since I 
switched to digital I've had one card break in two, another card just stop 
working (after I put images on it of course) and I've drowned a camera and 
smacked a camera into a rock (by accident) and popped its lenses out.  Its 
all topped off with this weekends "missing" card.  I'm ready to go back to 
film - it was less stressful!
