I had my own little panic last week. I was serving as a host for the local shelter for homeless families in a local church. Usually, I am quite busy for the first hour or two, until the young children go to be. Then I have a few hours to kill.
I decided to bring my computer, so I could work on the images I had taken earlier at the induction of a new member in our Rotary Club. I wanted to get a few hots ready for the weekly eBulletin. I didn't want to bring my camera, however, as the guests are usually sensitive about photos being taken of them and their children in the shelter. So I opened my camera and removed the secure data card, placing it in my pocket. Later, I pulled out the card and received an unpleasant surprise. what I had in my pocket was the adapter for the micro card; the micro card itself was missing. I searched my pocket, the hall, the driveway, and my car without luck. I cut my knuckles reaching under the car seats to see if I could feel the little sucker, but no joy. I gave up for the time being, but when I got home, I decided to try again. This time, I grabbed the spotlight I use when I take the dog out late at night. Shining it between the seat, I spotted a tiny reflection. The micro card had lodged itself half way between the seat and the floor by clinging to some sort of little tag. I barely managed to squeeze my hand far enough to knock it to the floor, so I could stick my hand under the seat again and finally retrieve the little chip. I had never dreamed that the tiny micro chip could get dislodged so easily from the adapter. I shall be more careful with it in the future.
