Second run in Marble Falls TX and even though I had run most of this route yesterday, there were still three quarters, 4 nickels and six pennies that found me. Missed the dime to have 'hit for the extended cycle' (penny,nickel,dime,quarter,socket,lug-nut) but I'm pretty sure it was there and I somehow missed it. Wouldn't be the first time. There were 3 more lug-nuts out there today, and all told, if lug-nuts were dollars, I'd be a hundred-aire several times over by now. There was another credit card in the street today, a Visa Debit from Wells Fargo. Although their people are very nice on the phone when you call, it's pretty much worthless trying to get any help from them reporting a lost card, they just suggest that I look up a Wells Fargo location and then drive all the way over there to give them their card back-- another reason I stay with my Credit Union. There was a strap and hook at the upper left that I passed by yesterday which didn't 'make the pocket' then, but somehow seemed more interesting today and here it is. There was a music CD, by a British group named Dirty Vegas, and after checking out a track (Days Go By) I think these guys might be kinda interesting. We'll see. The little pink ball in the middle of the CD, well, Pepto Bismal pink, how could I miss it? There was a hotel room key card and I love the instructions on these, especially "ensure to close door behind you." I keep forgetting that one and someone ends up stealing all my bath towels. Two more sockets were on the ground, the dark 11/32" one was a tough spot in the dirt, but I did a 180 and went back to look. The other one was an 8mm, a change from the 10s and 13s I usually run across. It was a nice morning to run, blue skies, cool breeze, and I even had an encouraging shout out from somebody who had a mic and speaker in their vehicle. You don't see that very often. I just got a flashback to some of my high school track meets where my mom would be in the bleachers yelling "run you turkey, run!" Ha! Thanks mom!
