The Warm Up!
Today we found 17 cents in change and 34 bottles and cans.
We got a little taste of things to come with some spring like weather. It made our runs simply delightful and the walk equally enjoyable. There are more warm days ahead as the forecast is for temps in the 40’s and 50’s all week. Now for a word from our sponsors!
Coin Conversation – With the warm temps you’d think that we’d start really cleaning up on the currency out on the roads. In fact, it’s been completely the opposite. We’ve been finding coins but not nearly with the kind of the success we enjoyed in the first two months of 2007. I’ve also seen a couple of new players in the recyclables arena. Coming back from the movie last night we saw individuals, an older guy and a young kid riding by on bikes. The kid was doing all the work it seemed as he had about 4 good-sized bags of returnables while the older guy was riding out front. It was pretty cold last night, too, when I saw these guys. They had to be freezing! I also ran into to another older guy up at the car wash we usually hit today. He was totally the opposite of the previous 2 in that he appeared to be your average middle-class guy. Too bad for him the well had run dry.
Anyway, Michele found a grand total of 3 pennies on her walk, and all of them we confiscated from the Cumberland Farms on Main Street. The remaining 14 cents (1 dime and 4 pennies) were found at the car wash (13) and the high school (1). Those coins were found on the evening walk.
Good Night and Good Hunting!
Money Totals for 2007 – 27.58

Bottle and Can totals for 2007 – 16,343 – 817.15
