We have found our hitchhiker Moose on the Loose, several times. We left it in Massachusetts, but found it in two different places in Rhode Island, and again in CT.
Also, some hitchhikers do go home. We have retired Stellaluna. She had been flying for a while and her wings were very tired. Thanks Chuck and Molly for her safe return home.

Unfortunately, it seems that mejaka's point has been missed here... I think the comments were not really to gripe about it being hard to notify a placer or to...
