Saturated

I guess when you dream about picking up money, you know you've reached a turning point. No going back now. Yes, I dreamt I found a couple of dimes as I meandered and journeyed. In reality, I found 3 pennies yesterday.

The Collecting Never Stops

Despite the lack of posting activity, the change is still being collecting. Fear not, Laura, o' reader of the street change blog. Your streets are being scanned, your public areas are being watched for any neglected change. They will find a new home. I guarantee that.

Since my last post, I've found 21 cents. 1 dime and 11 pennies. It was almost like finding a penny a day. Still tends not to keep the lawyer away.....those of you who know what I do will know what that means.

The Gowanus Yacht Club

My friend and I went down to Smith street today to check out the new skateboard shop Homage that opened up.

I had picked up two pennies on the way and at the Bergen station I found the penny that marked $21.00.

We looked at some skateboards and then went off to the Gowanus Yacht Club. Hmm. First time there. Bartender was a bit zombie-like and it wasn't the most congenial and well-kept space. I think I'll go to the Friday nights at 4th Avenue Pub to sit outside and enjoy the free grill food.

But I did find a quarter on one of the benches. Damn. It's been a free-wheeling, change lovin' past two days.

Think and You Shall Receive

So as I walking to my coffee shop this morning, I thought: Wow, I'm pretty close to $21 if I found a quarter. That'd be almost $1 in one week. Not a bad rate.

Well....at the coffee shop what was lying on the floor: A quarter.

Hmm..is this what that book "The Secret" was all about?

Williamsburg! The Musical

Yesterday I saw the production Williamsburg! The musical.

Humorous play about those hipsters living in that borough of Brooklyn.

Anyway, throughout the day, I was finding a lot of change. A lot meaning occurrence. Not really in value.

Before I went to the play I had found 4 pennies walking around my neighborhood. On my way to the play, I found 2 dimes. One of them near the subway turnstile. It had actually been some time since I had found some money near the turnstile. Then throughout the rest of the evening, I found 7 more pennies. Pennies from not heaven....but, everyone!

For a second....

Last night the weather wasn't so great and instead of heading to Prospect Park to see the bollywood movie, a group of us had Indian for dinner. I found a penny on the way. Then after dinner we were at Loki and played this fun little game called Wastebasket. Afterwards, as our group began to embark on their separate ways, there was a penny right outside the bar. I tried to pick it up. It was stuck. Huh? Did someone really glue change to the sidewalk? I tried again and finally managed to pry it off. It was stuck to some tar.

Night Change

I got home today around 8pm and went running. Then I stretched and showered. (Wow, this is what blogging is all about -- mundane details) Anyway, I had to find something to eat and as usually nothing was stocked in my kitchen. So I headed out. In the middle of one of my intersections I found a quarter and on the sidewalk I found a penny.

And is a "change" a-coming?
