after 5 nights of sub-par finds I finally found something worth talking about. i had a paltry sixteen cents in my pocket and was beginning to get grumbly about it as I was on the last leg of the route. popeye's drive-up window area suddenly- and for the first time in a while- yielded two quarters. my next stop was a soda machine which yielded four quarters:  the stop after that was an ice machine that yielded another two quarters:  (yes, I need to trim my nails...) $2.17 on the night, picked another zincoln along the way home. i have a full tube of quarters ready to wrap and I need three or four more nickels for a full roll. cycle 20 now sits at $56. still gonna be a while before I can nab an ounce of silver, though.  |

Ah....for the days of checking a looooong bank of payphones at a busy airport--examining all those change slots.

Recently I scored a $20 in a parking lot!   From experience, it seems that these frequently travel in pairs - and that was the case here!   Please, excuse my brogans and how I tie them - they're Doc Martens! Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

tonight I picked $3.02. some of it was well-scattered, but the bulk of it was picked in two places. a soda machine early on provided a pair of quarters. later, my favorite ice machine gave up eight more quarters:   that makes three consecutive $1+ nights, totaling well over $6. rolling right along...  |
