I had one soaked book near where I live, so I just went there with a hairdryer...

Boy, that must have been REAL close to where you live or you must of had one long extension cord. : )

No, that would've been smart. I just took the hairdryer and assumed I would plug it in at the restroom. Alas, there was no plug so I had to lay out the pages on my dashboard in the sun and sit there waiting for 30 minutes while they dried! Gosh, I'm really pathetic, aren't I...

Nope, not pathetic. I can only hope that you are the one to find my boxes if they get wet!

I look at the maintenance of other's boxes as my honor and responsibility as a good boxer. Just as I wouldn't dream of leaving a box hidden less well than I found it, I wouldn't dream of not replacing damaged baggies. I try to box with extra log books too, in case of full books.
I guess I look at my fellow boxers as comrades and want to help them keep the movement alive.
