have 43 people (from 43T) help my Garden Gnome on his trip around the world

See my posting (Under my 14 things) and we can start again. I’m only looking for 10 – 20 places to send him at the most. It’s not Rufus, but we will locate the next best thing.

Anyone wanna start over????

I will introduce him to Hawaii

I wonder if he is actually going to do a walk in role on Lost this season? He seems lost.

well…i was on the original list but never got him…not even sure where he is or what the heck is goin’ on with it…but this one is just wasting space. so long Rufus!!

Apparently, gnomes are known for going missing. Accident? Gnomenapping? I think not. Here is a story about one missing from a place called Smithsberg. http://www.herald-mail.com/?module=displaystory&story_id=134330&format=html

Yes, they say the gnomes aren’t talking.

One of my friends tipped me off that the seniors in Dawson, Minnesota have an annual gnome stealing and throw them into the Lac qui Parle River. Apparently the sheriff rescues most of them. So I googled “Dawson Minnesota gnomes” and found a wonderful story about working “grove gnomes” http://www.holthouse.org/grovegnomes.html and a great link to the “Gnome Reserve and Flower Garden” in North Devon, Britan. http://www.gnomereserve.co.uk/ It looks from the website that they have “Recycled Teenagers” there too! Maybe they are just regular teenagers that dress in thrift store clothes—I’m not sure. Maybe Rufus is there.

Reading along, it seems that tracking of traveling inanimate characters, such as teddy bears, gnomes, altered dolls, and flat stanley, is part of the issue.
“Now where did I put that 12” ceramic statue that a large group of people are invested in?”, “Hmmmm, is it under the couch? Did the dog bury it? Oh yeah, I took it to Starbucks and must have left it on the chair”.
Knowing this allows you to create technology and/or process that can be either burdensome or entertaining. I choose entertaining.

is still missing!

...I have to give this up again.

gone again…:(...
