Setting The Tone!

Today we found 84 cents in change and 89 bottles and cans.
Sox Talk – Well, I wouldn’t have scripted him starting out walking the first three batters he faced, but after the dust settled and Padres had only scored one run, Matsuzaka shut San Diego over 6 innings. Dice-k was masterful as he dominated the Padres, overmatching the hitters. The relief staff took over after that along with just enough timely hitting from his offense to preserve a 2-1 win for the sox. Getting the first win here was key and hopefully sets the tone for news in games two and three.

Money Report – Michele had some luck once again on her morning walk as she netted a total of 27 cents (1 quarter and 2 pennies). She picked up a 26 of it in the Depot parking lot and then scooped up a penny on Mill Street. On the evening walk we added a total of 58 cents to the coffers. First, we found a penny in the rite aid parking lot followed by 50 cents (3 dimes, 1 nickel and 15 pennies). We also added 5 pennies from the skateboard park and 1 penny at Springvale Hardware.

Of special note, we came across a couple of nice looking bowls, possibly Japanese, at the car wash on one of the islands.
