We seem to have lost at least 1 box in the move to LA, and appear to be missing a couple of random things (a pair of binoculars and an iron). Weirdly, the sense of uncertainty of the full set of unknown-known objects that might have been in the box makes for an odd sense of loss

Nothing actually important or of real sentimental value appears to be missing, so it’s probably ignorable, but still a box of externalized soul with indeterminate contents is gone, so the unknown-known objects seem to be imbued with the average significance of objects we own.

At a carnival, I won a glass pane with Garfield painted on it. I was 9. It was in a white paper sleeve. I walked all the way home with it. Very proud. At the top of the hill where our house was, it slid out of the paper sleeve and shattered all over the street. I was alone.

Not to discount the emotional impact of any of the things in this thread, but in a way it shows how extraordinarily lucky we (at least this subset of folks on Twitter) are to be living in US today. Nobody went hungry because their cows died or homeless when their hut burned down.
