I Lost My iPhone!

Late afternoon on Monday Jeannette & I took off to Indy for a couple meetings I had. For the 3 hour trip I was wearing my usual uniform of shorts, t-shirt, and sandals, but had my “work clothes” of slacks, polo, and…sandals ready to change into upon arriving at our hotel before the first meeting.
