Got an earlier start, traffic was better this morning, and for some reason it was penny day. The first one was the one with a bite out of it. Looks like it has had a tough day already and it was only 7am. Ten pennies or a dime all at once?? I'd much rather have the ten pennies find me, ten chances to be thankful instead of only one. I found one of the stretchy bands with the blue velcro end on the way out and on the way back, on the other side of this 6-lane road (with a median) I found the other one--go figure.
Lots of washers too, and I know I passed some by, they probably weren't shiny enough. That can make a difference in whether something gets picked up or not. That's probably the "Racoon Factor" my brother Dave (from up in the land of ice and snow) tells me about. I guess maybe un-shiny is harder to see, especially when you're moving and scanning the path and the road at the same time. And I don't pick up everything I see. Why just today I passed by two chap sticks and a toothbrush, never even got near them (that will be another major eyeroll from my honey--sorry babe!)
The ring I found looks like it has 5 small opals and 5 stones that look like diamonds but I suspect are probably cubic zirconia or maybe Moissanite. It's still a nice ring and I found it on a concrete median between 7 lanes of traffic. How it ended up there without getting beat up is a mystery. So friends, step right up, we now have one more addition to the line of elegant jewelry at the 'Rundover Store'.
