Insurance Claim
Miriam and I are trying our best to finish the schedule of loss for the insurance claim this weekend.
The insurance form wants a place of purchase for each item. Is "next to the dumpster outside our apartment" a valid response? Because that's actually where I got at least three pieces of furniture we were using. 🙂
I'll just leave those blank.

I'm trying to remember what make/model the slide rule I lost in the fire was. Of course, I seem to have photos of the *other* slide rules I own, which are all still in Wisconsin, but the one I had with me? I have one picture in which you can see the end of the case behind a water glass. Not so helpful.
It's also proving difficult to value some of the SLR lenses I thrifted. I had a manual focus, 400mm f5.6 Sigma Pentax K-mount that I only have a picture of from above mounted on a body. It's hard to tell the exact model, and almost everything on eBay is auto-focus anyway. I have most of the camera gear here, albeit water-logged and sooty. But that lens, I didn't find in the post-fire mess. It was big and in its own case somewhere, unlike the ones that were all in my camera backpack.
