Whatever spins the moon for you... my good man.

Well...
Had an interesting day today..
Coming home on the ferry to my little island from work...
I left one of my n900s on the seat on the ferry...
(I usually take one and a smaller harp to work...so I can use gtkgep and jam out...while working ...lov3 my job....)
didn't realize I had left it on the ferry until I got home...
The morning rush hour for people who work in the city and students ...were boarding and...
I held zero hope of it being returned.
Got on the ferry headed for work 5 min ago...
Asked one of the deckhands if they had a phone that looked like "this" and held up another of my n900s I brought with me.
He said yup...it was turned in this morning...
I was quite surprised...while he went to get it.
He said they get 3 a day ...on average...of folks who leave their phones on the ferry...and that are turned in...
Quite the testament to the good nature of my islands folks I must say.

Good thing too...
There was good blackmail video footage of me and my woman on that particular n900.
