The bottom line is at some level technology hates humans. Not all the time
but as a sporatic undertoe. Unlike jewelry and small pretty objects which
disappear into some other reality, socks just drop through a crack in the
earth. My friend always said the elves and fairies were playing with the
jewelry and would give it back. The Catholics call on St. Anthony. If I
lose something I turn a cup or glass upside down. Try it.
