@mathowie I once left an ipad in a rental car (a nice new ipad air, 2019) and I swore it was gone forever. Filed a report, nothing for 2 months. Then miraculously, it arrived in the mail with a nice letter. I was stunned. Sent back a nice letter and a photo of my daughter holding it!

@Pinboard my wife's older brother was a huge Obama supporter and has been heavily politically involved his whole life, first R then D. Native Iowan. He is a MASSIVE Pete B fan. Enormous. I think that's a sign, personally.

I kinda do recommend that everyone watch this, unless you already know the story (I didn't at all!). It does NOT show the actual videos, and the whole thing is treated with respect, in a thoughtful way. Especially the ending.
