Pat my wife would say I am the worst as far as short term memory. But I don't think it's as much a memory problem as it is a distraction problem.
The day befor we left Texas I lost our digital camera,,,,,,Could not for the life of me remember where I had put it and the way my wife was glaring at me I think I was in serious danger.
Turned out my Dad found the camera the next day. It was on they bow of his boat. I now remember getting the camera to take some pics but spotted a nice ERC back in the woods and went to investigate. That ofcoarse led to spotting several other trees witch led to searching for a saw that led to going on a stave run. Finnishing up several hours later around dark. And then not realizing the camera was even misplaced till the next morning while boarding the plane.
Amasingly I seem to be able to remember where one particular tree is in the middle of the forest but can't remember where I put the car keys,cell phone,notebook or anything els that is important. Keenan
