The Saga of the Knife Found in Parts

Here's an assembly of some stuff I found on my walks around Audelia Road. I put them in a frame whose glass I had broken, and it finished quite nicely. (I must tell you that the large square on the right is a little different now, I removed the nuts with pennies and the fork portion.)

Now here is the crazy part. I still pick up a lot of junk from the sidewalks, lately more metal objects than colorful ones. About three months ago, I found this knife with it's tip broken off, and believe it or not, yesterday I found the tip of the same knife!!! It is an exact match...what are the chances of that? They were found about a city block apart. Maybe I'm easily impressed (which is true) but this just boggles my mind. What do you think?

    JJ, that comment engendered a long lecture, er, I mean discussion, with Jim on the who, what, why and where someone could or would attract whimsy. His theory: One cannot really attract whimsy unless one notices it, so therefore I am more of a whimsy noticer rather than an actual attractor.

    That is really a cute idea, can't believe you find such stuff. You must really look down where your walking. At my age I have to do that.

    Yep, I use a cane, and have to watch out for those invisible tripping cracks.
