We're traveling this weekend and are staying at a campground in Valley View TX meaning, there's new places to explore, new things to find! Well....... actually, this stuff today kinda looks familiar. To begin, I started off running the entire campground just to get a feel for the place. We had been watching the weather and saw that the day before we arrived, this area had gotten three inches of rain, 70+ mph wind, and golf ball size hail with lots of damage to campers and vehicles. Kudos to the Lake Point staff of Ray, Karen, and Angel for taking good care of us in addition to having to deal with all that. Anyway, moving on I decided to run the two lane country road outside the campgrounds. Wouldn't you know it, I had just gotten to the first driveway where today's shiny penny found me. I knew my penny was out there, even here in 'the wilderness', which does makes me realize Somebody has a sense of humor! Something else I've run across before was a 'Grease-Monkey' work glove but today's was the first pink one. So, what do you call a female Grease Monkey? I expect it would be 'Rosie' as in 'The Riveter' (circa WWII). Next, there wasn't much of a shoulder to the road today so I ran in the grass a lot which is where I found a Visa card and a Hooters gift card. I also found a Winstar Casino card which I assume people 'load' so they can play the slots without having to slow down to manually feed all those coins in. Gee, wah! Also, out in the grass, there was a long nylon cord that ought to have some kind of good use. The red thing that all this stuff is sitting on looks to be an 'oversize load' flag that you fly on the back of your car/truck when something extends out the back. Which is way sturdier than the flimsy ones they give away at the big-box stores. The last thing I found, in the tall grass next to the road was a retractable dog leash. Hmmmm, I see my honey showing some interest here, maybe she sees a use that involves me at Home Depot or Harbor Freight? (and here's my own lesser known eye-roll!)
