There's No Love In Mudville!

Today we found 1.69 in change and 78 bottles and cans.

Sox Talk – The losing streak is a 4, following another tough loss to the A’s. The sox just haven’t been able to get many runs lately and it’s cost them, even though the pitching continues to be pretty good. Hopefully this power outage doesn’t go on too long, because Tito just about blew a gasket on a terrible call by home plate umpire Dan Issogna. It will be interesting to see how the character of the club holds up during this stretch, although they are healthy and do have plenty of veterans, so I don’t see any prolonged losing streaks for this team. Curt Schilling goes tomorrow afternoon trying to avoid the first 4-game sweep by the A’s since 1971!

Money Report – After a couple of days of rain, the coin gods decided to line the streets with loot for us. Michele nailed down 36 cents on her really early morning walk (she left the house at 4:30 for a rafting trip with the graduating class). She found a quarter on Pleasant Street, 1 penny on Mill and a dime on Bridge Street, near the Social Club.

After stopping by the post office to mail some packages, I took an extended ride on the mountain bike. While doing so I found a total of 13 cents (1 dime and 3 pennies). The dime was found in front of Luigi’s, 2 pennies were found in the rite aid parking lot and 1 penny was found on Barbara.

The evening walk added 1.19 to the cause (4 quarters, 1 dime, 1 nickel and 4 pennies). At the car wash I snagged 69 cents. All of the coins were in and around the vacuum areas scattered about on the ground. Then, I found another quarter in the sweet creations parking lot, and finally, near Key Bank, I found the final quarter on the ground in one of the parking spaces.

Good Night and Good Hunting~
