Saving log - $7 tip box
Spending log - $1.19 coffee + $9 lunch
And rant week continues. Coffee in the bathroom, wide loads on the bus, finding out offically from the IRS that I'll get my fiscal package stimulated. I'd better check the calendar ... yeah, "its" a bit late, so I'm the throes. Actually its not a bad rant, its karmically kinda funny when you think about it.
It all started after lunch at my hideout in the Pike Place Market. I bought a large apple in one of the high market produce stalls, a strategy to keep me from hitting the candy bars during afternoon snack time. The apple came to .95. I gave the seller a buck and told him to keep the change. "Sure wish it was 5 bucks," he said, a little wistfully.
So 5 cents down
I walked along back to work and in the middle of a block found 2 pennies on the sidewalk. I walked to the corner and saw a homeless guy with a cardboard sign. Hey, the only change I had was the 2 pennies, so I gave them to him. At least I tried. He gave them back and started to rant at me! Yeah, I know, 2 "crummy" pennies and I while I do joke about coin rescue..I mean really, I thought you needed money, bud! You didn't even have to pick them up.
So 2 cents up
Tonight I managed to pull out my cloth bag in the Safeway in time to replace a plastic one for a bag credit.
3 cents up, and karmically even.
and rant week continues ...

i had a similar experience with a rubby collecting bottles outside our old apartment building. i told him i had some empties for him if he wanted them. he asked me, "how many?" i said, "about 12."
without a weird of a lie, he SNEERED at me and said, "don't bother."
