Mini-tripod
If you’ve looked at the photos in “Dave and Syd’s European Adventure” from earlier this year, you’ve seen my grey jacket. I wore that thing all over Europe, and when I got back to the US I put it in the closet and never used it—California really doesn’t get that cold.
On that same trip I brought along a mini-tripod that I used constantly. When I got back to the US, I forgot all about it. It was really only when I was packing to move that I remembered I had it…somewhere. Alas, it never showed up, and I went to Italy tripod-less.
It was pretty cold on a certain Friday earlier in the semester, so I wore my grey jacket to Aperitivo. You know how you always find all these interesting things in your jacket pockets when haven’t worn it for a while? Well, I had a London Underground map poking out of my right pocket, so I started digging through everything. I found several TravelCards; a couple of train tickets; the button for the left pocket of my jacket, which had fallen off sometime during January’s trip; some lint; and…my mini-tripod.
