Recipe cards with the ink smudged into illegibility by still-pungent cooking sherry...Half-eaten Werther's Originals wrapped in a corner torn from a newspaper grocery flyer...A thirty-foot chain of multicolored scarves tied end to end, terminating in a Belgian flag...The keys to a stranger's 1984 Chevy Silverado encased in a hard carapace of amber, at the bottom of a coffee can filled with olive pits to fool the X-ray machines...You know, just normal, little stuff.
