The Missing Glove

So, sometime yesterday, I discovered that I was missing a glove. I have a pair of gloves for every jacket that I have, and the pair that I had for my winter jacket was missing the left glove. I knew I had it when I started my shopping chores yesterday morning, but could not recall when it went missing.

So, I put a different pair of gloves in that winter coat for the mean time, and decided I needed a new pair of gloves.  I could think of several scenarios in which I might have inadvertently lifted the glove out of my pocket. The most likely was when I took the disposable camera out of the left pocket of my jacket to get the pictures developed. So, since I had to go back to Wal-Mart today, I spent the less ten minutes in line to see if they had a match to my missing glove in lost and found. They did not. They had a lot of other detritus of shoppers, including a scarf and someone's keys.

No big deal, so I bought another pair of gloves. The selection was minimal, but if the pair I purchased is not as good as I would like, I can always buy another.  The pair that had one missing was not the best pair I ever had: they are Thinsulate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinsulate  gloves and they let through cold air and moisture in the webbing.  However, when I was doing laundry tonight, the missing glove appeared.

That was great. Now, I have options regarding winter gloves. I could return the new pair I purchased today, but I think it good to have a spare pair.
