A frozen creek yields a thirty-six-year-old diner receipt, perfectly preserved, printed with an order Roy Harris had placed every workday for decades: beef stew, white bread, large black coffee. How did a receipt from Patty's Counter dated November 22, 1983 - folded into a breast pocket and laminated - end up buried in the shallows when the man who always ordered that had died in 1981?
In this episode, we tell the chain of ordinary habits and small objects that connect three men, a small Iowa town, and a laminated piece of paper found by a dog - and we follow the question of why that exact receipt would resurface decades later.
