I've found that wearing a watch is a very useful thing, especially when you go biking. So, wearing it on my trip's first bike ride (Lewis River) is no exception. I strap on my good ole watch and off we go. I check my watch from time to time so I know, well, the time of course. At one point during the ride I look down and guess what? Exactly! My bike computer has convinced my watch to take a mini-vacation as well. Earlier in the ride I lost my bike computer but went back and luckily found it.

Now, to lose and find two important things on one day (I also lost and found my wallet) is unusual. Past experience has shown me it's practically impossible to lose and find three important things in one day. But the nearly impossible happens, I find it! I'm floored when I see it. The following important maxum has been reinforced in me today. When you lose something of value, you always have to go back and at least try to find it, regardless of the odds of finding it. This principal should not only be applied to things, but to relationships as well.
