shoot out

Saving log - $3 tip box
Spending log - $1.25 coffee + $17 groceries

Ate the lunch I packed that I was supposed to eat yesterday. Picked up fruit, yogurt, salad, and turkey breast on my way home.

Found a penny in front of the payday lender business on 3rd and Columbia. If there was a coin that needed rescuing, that was it.

And... oh yes, Seattle police shot it out with a bank robber three blocks away. I happened to be at the gym at the time with a good window view. Four police cars came by, sirens blaring, along with a dark blue unmarked van with a police light on top coming on second, going the wrong way (and no, that was not the bank robber), with the news chopper leading the rear.

    Always fun to find a penny on the ground. It's amazing how many people don't care about change these days and will just pour it all in the tip jar or not pick it up! Here's a game I like to play: Is the penny pre-1982 or post-1982? If it's pre-1982, it's a copper penny. If it's post-1982 it's a zinc penny. Copper pennies are actually worth around 2 cents each in copper metal value! A frugal game I play is saving up all my copper pennies in a separate jar and never cashing them in. I like to think this game brings me good luck. In any event, it's a little more fun in my day. :-)

    Sound like an exciting day there; I live in a rural area and the most excitement I've had in a long time was my car rolling down a hill and hitting a car this weekend; no police came because there were no drivers, both cars were empty.

    Oooh, I love those unmarked vans. You know who's coming to the party! Ours is an armor truck.
