Adding on loss of coolness from Changing it Up...
I'm now at negative cool, frankly.
I did my walk today, revisiting some of the places where I've found a lot of change in the last several days - found 1) another dime in the crosswalk near I found the three dimes 2 days before and 2) found 20 more pennies in the road where I found the 86 pennies on the sidewalk yesterday.
And I've sadly figured out a new method that makes me slightly wicked as I hunt for change. Before I buy something at Safeway, I stroll along the checkout lines. I look like I'm trying to assess which line will clear the fastest; in reality I'm looking at the floor along the back of the cashiers for dropped change.
Yesterday, I did stop to pick up a dime, and asked the 60-something lady standing a foot away if she dropped it. She did, and I handed it to her. Such is the fine line between helpfulness and jerk.
After all that, finding that quarter today next to the parking meter on the sidewalk feels almost normal.
$17.93: 478 pennies, 15 nickels, 74 dimes, 16 quarters, $1 bill.
no more cool points to lose
