Hi August,

On 2022-05-25 19:02:00, you wrote to me:

You said "A few days ago"...

That looks like a good fire starter or rodents nest. ;-)

 AA> So.. NO, a hunt for the slim possibility of finding that note
 AA> ain't gonna happen!   :/

That would indeed be difficult if you don't remember what the paper looked
like, and it wasn't on top of the pile anymore...

 WvV>> It would do a ton of good in mouth to mouth advertising
 WvV>> for your business!

 AA> Don't know what you mean?  "Feel free to lose your earrings at
 AA> Ashlie's Books! We will never call you back."

The other way arround of course, if you were able to return it!

Bye, Wilfred.
