Dustin To The Rescue!

Today we found 39 cents in change and 60 bottles and cans.

Red Sox Rap – It looks as though the light may have finally been turned on for this Red Sox team, one that had been slumping and still licking their wounds from the just completed Rockies thrashing by the Rockies. It did have the feel of past few games that the sox had been a part of, falling behind 2-0 in the first, but the bats and the pitching came alive and the home squad got a much needed win, regaining a game in the standings on the Yankees. Julian Tavarez pitched over and above the call of duty after a rocky first, and the top of the order carried the team to victory. Thank you J.D. Drew and Dustin Pedroia who had 8 hits combined with Pedroia a perfect 5 for 5. Let’s hope the rest of the offense lends a helping hand going forward.

Money Talk – Things started out well on this coin finding Friday. During my mountain bike run to the post office where I stopped to mail some packages, I found a dime near the counter. Then, on a short ride before heading back to the house, I found a penny on Grove Street. The evening walk added the remaining 28 cents to our total (1 quarter, 3 pennies). Most of the bounty came from the car wash where we picked up 27 cents. As usual, the coins were found in and around the vacuum areas. The other penny was found just off the sidewalk near the courthouse to complete the scoring.

Good Night and Good Hunting~
