Lots of thanks goes out to those who gave me hints about the status
of the Garden Gnome at various times. As you may remember we found
him missing on Saturday. Following information from local boxers
(thanks Jools and Mike) I followed my first hunch that he had been
washed out of his hiding place and began my search of the local
stream.

Whadda ya know- rubbermaid really does float! ;o) I found the box
making it's way through the streams of the park on it's way out to
the ocean. Thankfully everthing inside was dry and in good condition
and I have my favorite little guy back, none the worse for wear.
Just goes to prove that sometimes I actually can have good luck for a
change.

I've given the gnome a new home and will post the revised clues under
another heading to make it easier for the webmasters but I have to
ask this...

in ledger de maine style...

does this count as a find??? He certainly *was* a far bit from home
and without the clues provided by Jools and Mike I may not have found
him floating away as he was...

and can't I count this as another plant as well since he is not in
his original home??

Huh? Can I, huh?? Pleeeze!!!
