In the Ensuing Panic

It has occurred to me that I would never buy at one time the number of Cokes whose caps I find on a typical Friday (today was not typical). The real value of the caps is the items I get for free to use or give as presents. So, while I will continue to record the number of caps I find, I will not assign them a monetary value. I will determine that when I redeem my points. Summer Session ended on the 20th and Fall Session starts Monday. The buildings are empty except for faculty, staff and those with business in the administration building. Today’s cap haul reflects the lack of traffic on most of the campus: three caps.

I also found $.28 in various machines on my daily walk. ~~TSG

Found $.38 today.~~TSG

Found a penny and a dime: $.11~~TSG

Things have been a bit crazy around here as we approach the beginning of the semester. Since last time, I have found $1.28 and saved $5.00 with coupons for a total of $6.28 ~~TSG

I am afraid that there is not going to be a lot of excitement regarding “the scheme” for a bit. This is the busy season at the college and it is all I can do to get in my daily walk. As we near the beginning of the fall semester, that may even become impossible. Nevertheless, I can keep my eyes open and that is what I did. As a result, I found a quarter in the coin return of one of the vending machines this morning: $.25

Found a nickel: $.05 ~~TSG

I went out briefly to get coke and coffee for me and FMP and found an old metal chair. I spent the rest of the day with the first migraine I have had in over a decade. No idea where that came from.

Last work day of the week, otherwise known as cap-collecting day. I found 10 lids at the Coke machine rate of $1.50 each: $15.00
I also found some old golf clubs by the curb. They seem to be selling on Ebay for $10.00 to $20.00 each. I will count them in my total if/when I sell them.~~TSG
