hazelnut.
in room 229 at approximately 6:20pm on wednesday, october 25, 2006. i picked it up. while engaged in conversation with a classmate, I absently rolled it between
my fingers. i dug my thumbnail into its body, inadvertently bisecting the object. but I put it back together and left it on the lefthand corner of the chalkboard at the back of the room.
please claim it if you lost it.

this was originally sent out as a random emailed missive. several equally surreal responses ensued, to my great enjoyment. below are some responses:
1. thanks for the heads up.
2. Oh, thank goodness. I'd meant to stuff it into my cheek in preparation for
the upcoming winter, but in the rush of it all I must have dropped it.
Could you do me a huge favor and, if you see it again, deposit it in a safe
little burrow from whence I can dig it up when the frosts are upon us?
Thanks so much.
3. oh, it was the fer's? dammit! i can't for the life of me find mine. i'm such a spaceboy. i just
know i'm going to be so hungry now, i just know it. maybe i left it in the dark place.
4. well, just because she claimed it *doesn't* prove it was hers. i have yet to see proof. for all i know, there's a rash of lost filberts in davis.
5. good point. see how i go right to gloom? maybe it's because i'm really hungry. and i was really
disturbed by that matthew barney piece, "The Fagales Order"- i always get the creeps when i
walk through a birch grove now.
6. But Birch groves provide wonderful places to bury nuts! I always think of
such groves as larders.

8. if you find another one, i recommend planting it. then you can offer
forlorn nut owner a freshie. some patience involved.
hybrid or heirloom are factors in authenticity.
time capsule return.
9. How do you know it wasn't some creature's fecal dropping? Did you taste it?
