I mentally just said...”Jesus, thats beautiful, she found that in a dump!?” and then went ... Oh D’uh. I spent too much energy cleaning the car today......

Wonderful discovery. I wonder how it ended up in that woman’s possession?

I wonder how much other treasure just got scattered similarly ?

That's nothing. My wife was driving her Mustang GT to her Aunt's church when she ran the stop sign in front. When she realized that she had endangered her new car, she let loose with a tirade that would have made a Navy Master Chief proud. I had to remind her that God's house was about 10 feet away and she was using his name in vain.

I loved the look on her face when reality set in.
