Good Cop/Bad Cop

I think pictures should tell the rest of the story.

The Glue Job (Act III)

(or: "And that's why you never deface federal property")

Yes, the Glue Job story isn't quite over. Our story picks up when there was a comment posed saying how I had possibly missed another missing sign that had been put up.

So I did a little detective work. On my street I came across a US relay post box.



And noticed something on it.







Taking the scrap home, I compared it to the font and type of the sign I had saved. It was a match.



To be continued.....

MISSING

Ah. The Glue Job. Take Two. So I come home rather late from a party Sunday night and it's dark so I don't really notice anything unusual about the entrance to my building.
This morning when I went to work, I see a missing sign taped next to the building's door. And another one right by the bus stop.
Funny! :)

Sunday Tally

On Sunday, I found 8 cents. It looked like there was only going to be one penny and I was going to comment that my life is like that. Just me. Alone. But I got foiled.

I found six more cents that evening at the Bleecker station. On Saturday night I found two pennies near Loreley.

The Swiss Coin

I tried to take a pic of the coin.

Confoederatio Helvetica

So I went to the Mermaid Day parade yesterday and I thought I'd just say how zany and bizarre some of the outfits were since I didn't think I was going to find anything unusual.

Well, I got upstaged.

At the Coney Island station on the F train as I walking down the ramp to exit the station, I saw a coin. It was faded grey and I thought it looked like an odd dime.

I picked it up and saw that it was foreign....truly foreign. The inscription was "Confoederatio Helvetica" and on the back it simply had 5.

When I got home, I found out that I had picked up a coin worth 5 Swiss centimes. The date on the coin was from 1966. Bizarre....just like the parade.

Public Payphone

This is a first. I actually found money at a payphone this evening. I was at 26th and 8th avenue and the payphone right in front of Duane Reade has a ledge to rest items on. Someone had left 12 cents (1 dime and 2 pennies). Right below were another two pennies. I found two more pennies walking around the area.
