Oh, and while doing the paper rout on Friday with my son, driving because of the rain, I spotted what looked like a loom, or maybe it was a cot... on the side of the road out for trash. I pulled over and grabbed that puppy and threw it in to the back of my car! It was a loom, and when I got it home and figured it out, its in perfect shape, doesn't ( Read more... )

So I opened one of the bags of wool that I scored, and there was a big hunk of wool that had not been cut into strips yet. Well, it wasn't a hunk of wool, it was a full sized wool blanked in good condition. No moth eats, mouse scratchings or anything. It's got a bit of fraying on the edge where the satin binding is, but other than that, a nice wool ( Read more... )

So the other day I was getting out of the truck on the sidewalk to pick up trash from the barrels. Biv was with me. As I go to the back of the truck, I see money on the ground. Before Biv can see it, I scoop it up and put it in my pocket. (If it were anyone else, I would have shared, but why should I pay for her cigs?) Later when I had a chance, I ( Read more... )

I was in line at the store today and the woman in front of me was someone who's husband is buried in the cemetery. She looked really thin and fragile. She asked the clerk to pack her bags light. I think it won't be too long before she becomes a customer. She didn't recognize who I was and I was going to say 'hi' but she was busy with her checkbook ( Read more... )

Thursday while doing the paper route I saw a sparkly shiny object on the ground, and figuring it was a sequin or something, I bent to pick it up. It was a shiny diamond like thing. Very pretty, very shiny. Too shiny. It had depth. And a little dirt on it. I put it away and looked at it at home. It cut glass. It was very very shiny ( Read more... )

So I was smiled on again today. I went to Stop and Shop for a few items, and the bell ringer was out there. I've passed him buy a few times now  (I just cannot give the guy money every time I shop, that's extortion), so I figured today I would put some money in. I counted out five dollars from my cash in hand, and put it in the pot on my way out ( Read more... )

65* and sunny today.

Looks like John McCain will be going back to the Senate. Oh, is it too early to say that? Whatever.

I will miss Tina Fey as Palin. I hope I don't have to see Palin in the news anytime soon though.

Katie Coric(sp?) made a gaff earlier, referring to the EverReady Bunny. Himself caught that one.

One wonders what we could do if ( Read more... )

I just got a 1950 ten dollar bill as change from McDonalds. I knew as soon as she was getting the money out of the cash register there was something different about the bill. I could see the different green color that the bill had. When I glanced at the date, I just folded it up and put it in my front pocket.  I love getting old money. I don't know ( Read more... )

I jot a little note whenever I think of something I want to blog about (elsewise I will forget) and today I filled my little page. Get a life Me!

Started the day at 50 degrees so we went for a walk. At the end of the street I saw something in the middle of the road, looked kind of like a rock. It wasn't. It was a big mouse. It was alive but not ( Read more... )
