You're Out!....Down And Out, That Is!

Today found 91 cents in change and 47 bottles and cans.

It’s been raining off and on here the past couple of days. Normally, you would think that the coin finding would get harder, but actually, it’s pretty good. Take today for instance. Michele scooped up 4 cents on her morning walk. She found the pennies, on Mill, Allen and Payne respectively. The evening walk was once again the breadwinner with 87 cents (3 quarters, 1 dime and 2 pennies). 1 of the quarters, the dime and the 2 pennies were found around the vacuum areas. The other 2 quarters were found under a drainage grate, which is in front of each automatic wash. We simply pulled up the small grating and picked up the coins resting a few inches below.

Sox Talk – I tip my hat to Kei Igawa. After the original starter Jeff Karstens was hit by a line-drive, Igawa came in and shut the sox down completely, not that they didn’t have their chances. Tomorrow’s game is super important for the sox now as they hope to take the rubber game and head out of town with the series and the Yanks in the rearview mirror at 6 ½ games back.

A-rod coming down to earth – one other sidebar on the Yankees, it seems that Alex Rodriguez is starting to fall back to earth. Hey, he had a good run, but lately he’s been swinging and missing more and the big hits are becoming less frequent. I’m waiting for the Yankee faithful to start in with their boos again. Today he had his chances and came up empty; it was the same thing yesterday. Maybe tomorrow some Bronx jeers.

Geeze that car wash is a gold mine! Let's hope the Sox win tonight. 5 our of 6 would still be out of this world.

Hi Brian, yes, it sure is, but I think most car washes would be similiar to this one. I've got my fingers crossed for a win. 5 of 6 would be outstanding!

Best,

Jim
