apparently, capitulation has its benefits

So, since my voluntary surrender and removal from the Woodland Tensions, it appears the Gnomes have made moves to a limited détente.

I have found dozens of items that I gave up for lost or even forgot I had.

Possessions that have been missing for centuries have returned. I would just look over at an obscure spot and, holy mackerel!, there it was.

I have been looking for an old beat-up harmonica (no, I cannot play it yet, but here is hoping). I was searching some dark corner of the garage and then the wife suddenly says: Here it is!

It was on my garage workbench, where I had looked tens of times over the last several months!

I appear to have located everything that has been eluding me for time immemorial. Except two items. One, a tent pole bag, that I am not even sure I had. The second, a pair of sunglasses, but then again, I found a pair I was sure I gave away! So, a bit of an even-steven kind of deal.

I am not sure what to make of this, but I guess I better say nice things about Gnomes.

Thanks guys!! blbbl
