To Whom It May Concern...

I'm not sure I'd trust it as I used to, but I'm getting the data off. Here it is, in process:

What is a Dongle? A dongle is a small piece of hardware that connects to a computer. Dongles stick out in places where they can get broken. Like when you put your foot down near a computer on the floor. This was my main Thumb drive, where I kept all the little utilities I could carry from PC to PC. It had data files, and all sorts of other goodies I used frequently. Of course, we Montoya's , er, I mean Kenyon's, have never taken defeat easily. Let's see what we will have to work with: Hmm... I don't think anything got shorted, I think it just snapped cleanly off. Nothing was being read/written, so we should be good. Not a lot to solder back together, but I may be able to make do. I may also be able to pick up another connector with good terminals. Anybody ever attempt this before? This is a broken 2Gb Kingston DataTraveler if anybody's googling for it. I'll report my results.

Well, we got to promised land Thursday afternoon, and got right away setting up. All was well, we set up our tent, our food tent, and then my brother got there with his wife, and we helped them set up. 2AM, my wife’s brother and his wife got there, so I gave them the extension cord and fell back to sleep. Friday was a beautiful day. The sun was out, and Chloe was having a good time. We hadn't staked down our tents yet, so we took care of that. The ground there was especially hard, so our arms got tired. But we did it. After that we decided to go for a bike ride and swimming. Steph stayed at camp with Chloe. It was 4 miles each way, and uphill both ways as well. We made it home, got something to eat and did some fishing. Finally got back to camp, and toasted some marshmallows. Generally, a pretty good day. Saturday started with no rain, so we had a nice breakfast. And then the rains started. Chloe did not like it. We tried our best to keep dry. Another joyous event of the trip, ...

I'd say something, but that doesn't fit. Take this, a guy wants to rob a house while the people are sleeping. But that's not enough, he wants to make it more challenging, so he wakes them up. How to do that? Well, a trip to the kitchen and you've got... the kitchen bandit: http://www.fresnobee.com/384/story/849202.html
