March 5

On this date in 2016, Nathan "N8" Roswell of San Francisco, CA, realized his second favorite Moleskin journal and his Mont Blanc fountain pen were no longer in his Timbuktu bag. He panicked - the journal contained the dystopian novel he'd been working on for six months, and the pen had been a gift from one of his partners in polyamory. Having recently ridden in an Uber driven by a young man from Ghana, he was sure he'd been robbed. Minutes after reporting the crime to Uber, and demanding they take action against the driver, he received a call from The Alden Shop, where he'd gone in for a bespoke shoe fitting earlier in the day. An Alden employee had found the journal and pen in the men's lounge, and placed it in the store vault for safekeeping. Crisis averted.
