You pick up pennies?

With the quarter I found this morning I have found $95.83 on the ground in 2019. Yes, I keep track. You'd be surprised how much money is just lying around on the ground. When I'm riding my bike I'm like a hawk. I can see a penny on the ground from about ten yards away. My take this year includes a fifty dollar bill and the big score I made in spring right next to Paschen Park when I found a five, then a twenty, and then two singles in the gutter. I circled around the block a couple times to make sure I didn't miss anything. And this doesn't even include what appeared to be about $30 in change that I left on the ground outside a parked car right near Telegram Sam's house because it appeared that some guy was going to cash in his change and then dropped the jar and just said "fuck it". But I figured he might come back and I didn't really consider that fair hunting.

I love to pick up pennies. Especially if they are head side up. That is the premier coin to find.

I do some superstitious things sometimes. For example, the fifty dollar bill I found, I immediately took it to the bank and broke it up. No, now that I think about it I went to lunch and used it to buy Arby's. I do not walk around with U.S. Grant in my pocket. That motherfucker died broke.

In all seriousness I find this fascinating. And a little disturbing

He finds a 50 dollar bill and immediately thinks bad things.

Frank does bad things, immediately finds $52

You are confusing "bad" with "fucking hilarious", FF.

Actually with my need for stretching/flexibility given encroaching old age, it occurred to me that picking up the occasional penny would have an unintended benefit.

The $50 bill thing is odd. For some reason I've preferred fifties over hundreds, until now.

(Yeah, I'm in the old man group that still prefers cash over cards )

A few things:

1. I also love to pick up pennies. I use it as a reminder to be a wise steward of my money and remember not to waste it. Also, taking a second to bend over, it's a hell of a lot easier way to make money than what I do all day.

2. Grant wasn't a pauper when he died but did lose a considerable amount of his wealth. However, his memoirs sold like hotcakes after he died so his family was really well off after he died.

3. I think the $50 bill is the most aesthetically pleasing of all of the paper currency. The picture of Grant is just really wonderful. It's far an away my favorite bill.

4. Arby's is great, just great. I went there yesterday, that was a good use of your found fifty.

I like the hundreds. Lots of bells and whistles.

He was a drunken mess. Flipped over his horse carriage with 2 prostitutes in it.

Did I ever tell you guys about my bachelor party at Hawthorne...
