Uh, now that would be a nice penny find... and yes, they still keep coming...

08.08.08

coins still a plenty...

on this 08.08.08 I found 8 coins... 7 pennies and a dime. All found to/at/from the Cub/Card game.

still more...about double :)

since the passing of T a month ago, I've have more had double-coin days...
for instance...
4/3-2 pennies walking to the metra w/ Deno
4/4-2 dimes at different locations
4/7-2 pennies at different locations on the way into work w/ Jeff/Edith , a quarter at the PMC
4/8-2 pennies at different locations
4/9-2 pennies on the way into work
4/10-a dime on the way to the train
4/11-2 pennies at different times...one w/ Jeff on the way into work, one on LaSalle on the way to mass

0.65 in a week-ish... they are among us

They keep coming...

I may have stopped the anal documenting of each and every coin for the last few months, but they do keep coming...

- on vatation in Mo/So. IL...one penny each day
- in the Loop
- in Peter's
- after a funeral
- just about everywhere I go

thank you, thank you, thank you Christine!

here and there

a dime on 10.04 in the parking garage at the hospital, a penny here and there, another dime on 10.11 in front of Sams...parked my bike next to it...odd, not where I usually park the bike.
then a $ in the back of St. Peter's on Friday--did not pick it up, figured it was someones who just dropped it, but that did not seem to be the case...had I picked it up, I'd put it into the collect.... but I count it...thanks!

well, not keeping exact tabs on the coins for a while...but there have been:
dime on the MP platform
dime on the Chi-platform
pennies everywhere
quarter in Radio Shack
nickel in Church/St. Pete's
penny in Church//St. Pete's exit
and more and more...thanks!
