Delia is a sad panda

[pegkerr]

because her iPod classic, which we gave to her for Christmas 2007, fell out of her pocket as she was running after the bus yesterday. At the Metrodome light rail stop, one of the busiest transit places in the twin cities. She realized it almost immediately when she got on the bus, but she couldn't exit, because of the route she was taking over highways. She called me frantically on her cell phone, but by the time she reached me and I raced back to where I dropped her off, the iPod was gone. I looked for it for almost a half hour. No luck.

She apologized, but it was absolutely clear that it wasn't carelessness on her part, but just a rotten bit of bad luck. The girls have been SO good and careful about keeping track of their iPods and phones. They use them every day.

Damn. This sucks.
