Letting One Get Away….

Today we found 54 cents in change and 90 bottles and cans.

Sox Report – While Kason Gabbard pitched well in his debut outing for the sox, this time he was not very good. In fact, he basically unraveled in the first inning allowing only one hit, but walking four men and hitting another which ultimately led to 3 runs and got the Mariners off and running. Manny Delcarmen and Javier Lopez gave up another 4 runs combined and when the crying was over the sox came up on the short end of an 8-7 loss. I’d like to give credit to the Seattle hitters, though, as they showed resilience after the sox came back twice to tie the score. Dice-k heads to the hill this afternoon in what looks to be a salvage win against Ryan Feierbend who sports a 1-2 record and an era over 8.

Money Talk – I think the recent hot streak we’re in (2nd day of 90 plus) has affected our coin totals. Michele did have some luck on her morning walk with Lexi coming through with 12 cents. She found a dime and a penny at the skateboard park and a penny at the high school. A little later she went out for her run and found a penny on Bridge Street.

The evening walk added another 41 cents to our total (1 quarter, 2 nickel, and 6 pennies). First, at the car wash we found a total of 33 cents. Most of the coins were found around the vacuum areas, but the quarter was found in a return slot and the nickel in the self-serve bay. We also found a nickel and two pennies on Riverbank and a penny in the rite aid parking lot.

Hi Andy, yup, hitting the 500 mark is pretty lofty goal. It's amazing that we've found that money lost money.

Hi Bailey, thanks for the kudos. I've been super busy lately but things are starting to calm down some so I can get back to normal.

Best,

Jim
