'Hit for the cycle'? Heck yes, but I had a little help today. I decided my route needed a change of pace-- pun intended-- so this path was something new. I'm constantly amazed at how I can keep finding different stuff when I keep going over the same stretches of road. Today I had the penny, dime, and very chewed up quarter by the time I was 2 or 3 miles out. I figured the nickel was out there, but I just didn't see it until I got finished. I had mentioned to my friend and neighbor Larry B that I had started a blog about all this crazy stuff I find in the road every day and it seems he had recently checked it out. Unbeknownst to me this neighbor buddy had lined up a penny-nickel-dime-quarter in my driveway which I blindly walked right over when I headed out this morning. Larry was still outside working when I got back and I think he had as big a laugh as I did when I spotted the missing nickel for the day (along with the other 3 treasures)---in my own driveway! Thank you my friend, I always try to share a smile or two when I'm running, and you inspired a really big one for me.
There was some very heavy pig iron today, odd that I'd find it in a mostly residential area, but hey, it happens--look at the previous 150 blog posts. That new looking very shiny socket is a 9/32" and instead of engraving it on the socket it's printed on the side. It's kind of tough to read, especially in dim light under a car hood, but you don't complain about a freebie! Another day-glo yellow golf ball, and I used to play these and also the orange ones a lot. I'm not going to say that it's because I tend to spray the ball when I play, it's because.....it's because....ummmm, because I like those colors. Yeah, that's the ticket. Colors. Next I found another baby hose clamp, I haven't found too many of these that weren't very very flat in the road. Nice that this one will live on to grow up and perhaps one day have a job as a radiator hose clamp. Everyone can have a dream. And lastly, I almost forgot to mention, on 'hitting for the cycle'--thank you Creator of all for all these symbols of your infinite abundance. Yeayuh!
