Clean Sweep!
Today we found 61 cents in change and 221 bottles and cans.What a day it was for the Red Sox. First, the sox hit 4 homeruns in a row and then they completed the sweep of the Yankees. It just doesn’t get any better than that. But, let's give the Yanks credit, there were in every game and were ahead at some point in every game. So unless you’re detached from the real world, which I doubt very few of us are, then let’s treat it for what it is and move on, especially in light of the 2nd series next week on the horizon at Yankee Stadium.
Money Report – Michele started things off on what was just a beautiful with 5 cents (all pennies). She found 2 on Mill, 1 on Allen, and 2 Water Street. She also found a penny while coming out of church as well. During our run we added 2 pennies to the cause. Both we found on Pleasant Street. The rest of the total came via the evening walk. First, we found a single penny in the rite aid parking lot. Next, on our way down Main Street we picked up 30 cents (2 dimes and 2 nickels). We also found a dime in the Subway parking lot as well. At the car wash we found 2 more pennies, and heading up Main Street we collected another dime for our efforts. In addition, we had a mammoth day on the bottle and can front.

That was a mammoth day! Tell us more about finding over 200 bottles and cans.
Hi Andy, well, it really varies from day to day. Usually we get a good amount of bottles from the car wash, but the parks are finally opening up and those are pretty good spots, too. Plus, we always find stray cans and bottles on the streets.
This day, however, we were doing a run together and passing by an apartment complex when we saw three big boxes full of bottles and cans. After we finished up the
run I drove the 1/2 mile to see if they were still there, and sure enough, they were, with a free sign on them. That gave us 160 right there, I also snagged a decent number at one of the parks and we found several on the road and at the car wash to round out the total. I think we did over 17,000 last year alone and this year is shaping up to be like the previous one.
Best,
Jim
