know exactly where it was when I went next door to visit with my neighbor for a half hour, but I certainly came back to find it lying on the floor next to mostly devoured ear phones. Oh, and the kicker is that the ipod was in a silicone protective case that has yet to be found. I am almost certain that Rio plain ate that thing whole.This sounds grim, though the Little Ipod That Could continues to function. Luckily, the screen remains intact, unlike the case and wheel. Soooo, I can't really turn it on or off, use the play button, and it sort of just turns off on it's own whenever it feels like it. But, it works. Good thing too, because I was just getting used to integrating the device into my everyday life, as well as finally got all of my tunes uploaded just the night prior to the incident.
I went to the Apple store to look for a case repair. The internals and screen (the expensive parts) are mostly intact; the seemingly cheap aluminum case is what is truly damaged. Believe it or not, the Apple store wants to charge me a hundred bucks to replace the five dollars worth of aluminum. Or as I was counseled: "You can always buy another one." Yeah, no shit.
All I will say is Rio is lucky he is so cute.

Oh no, Rio, Rio, Rio, what else can I say.
Oh my! This sort of thing makes me appreciate Daisy Mae. She's not very bright, but she has not made a living out of eating our posessions.... I love their solution-- $100 to replace something that cost $150 or buy a new one. So much for being a genius bar!
