a good way to do it - that way there is no nightly expectations


that's exactly right.

over time I had gotten very used to finding more than $1 nearly every night and the expectation that it was going to continue developed without my realizing it until sometime late last year. I've made some changes and now it's sitting better with me. just rolling with the changes. (<- there's interesting word humor in there somewhere.)

deją vu:

for only the seventh time this month I found more than a dollar in change on my nightly ride, picking up $1.42, the bulk of which came as 5 quarters from an ice machine coin return, very similar to tuesday night's pickins. I love it when people do not take their change, especially when it's quarters.

I know I haven't posted in ages, but I'm still around - and just found a 1952 silver dime today at my local McDonald's drive-through!
