While returning from being politically supportive, I stopped at the grocery store. At checkout I noticed that my (very expensive and brand new) commuter rail pass was missing from my wallet. I got home, and it was in the first place I looked!
Also, does "wallet" really need two l's? Who decided that we'd indicate the vowel sound by doubling a consonant? Seems pretty arbitrary to me, but I guess it beats having to guess at the vowel sound.
