Got my wallet back today, returned from a long odyssey through many hands.
Minus the $240 that was in it, of course. However, I realize that I would gladly have paid that for the return of my ID, credit cards, and most importantly, green card.
Last time I went for my alien registration card I had to wait in line in mid-winter (outdoors) for six hours before being admitted to the cavernous INS offices in Seattle. When in, I had to wait for another three hours until they decided to start processing my application.
Anyway, I had called the post office after learning the idiot woman at Royal Farms had put it in post box and the supervisor there alerted the carriers when they returned to look for it. They found it yesterday afternoon and sent it to the local substation where it was waiting for me this morning.
All the credit cards and ID still there.
Small miracles occur daily.
