The missing post

I had a great idea for a post, my best blogging of the year, in fact. I worked it all out when I was driving, but when I arrived, it was gone.

Vanished.

So I went searching for it, trying out dozens of possible ideas.

I never found it. But I did find five other posts, posts that never would have been worked out if I hadn’t been looking for the other one.

That’s how snipe hunting works. It’s not actually about the snipe.
