You Could Be Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams!*



Calvin (Oh how we could use you now) Coolidge once said that the business of America is business.  And as far as I can tell we really like business involving Drugs, Guns, Movies with Superheroes, and War, declared or otherwise. 

I have a pet theory that along the byways, highways, freeways,  parkways, and roadways of bundled rolls of cash tossed by dealers when the heat gets too hot.  So, when I take off on a good walk around Bedlam I keep my eyes peeled for the green that will bankroll my retirement and keep me in the lifestyle with which I am accustomed. 

No luck so far, but I am getting rich nonetheless with my eyes glued to the gutter, and other places.  You could get rich, too.*  It's not easy but I will show you how and give you tips to become a wealthy beyond your wildest dreams. 

I have written before on this blog of my past copper strikes (non-trademark phrase for finding pennies) and how Floridians are either unaware of the holes in their pockets or routinely toss them out for no apparent reason.  A penny is a penny.  But 600,000 pennies is a small fortune.

Here are some tips so you, too, can become rich.*

  • Don't let traffic or surroundings disturb your concentration.  You must find your "zone" and once in it concentrate on your job at hand.  
  • If you walk in the early morning, at some point you will be heading into the sun.  Coins will reflect making it easier to spot.  
  • On rainy or threatening days take a long handled umbrella.  Put the end into the gutter effluvia and stir it up a bit as you walk.  Sometimes coins are hiding under all the gunk.  
  • Always check out places where people have their hands in their pockets like doorways to businesses, fast food joints, bars, parking lots, convenience stores and adult nudie bars.  
  • If a chunk is missing from your penny, go to the bank and ask them to replace it.  They are obligated if you have 51% of the coin left. 
  • It's OK to take a day off.  Once in a while walk for the pleasure of it and check out your surroundings.
  • If you see one in the middle of the road, look both ways before darting into traffic to retrieve it.
   

These poor lost lambs have been out in the elements for a long time.  The faces are barely recognizable.

Just last week I found about 13 cents.  At this rate in about 800 years I'll have enough to buy a $5,000 car, barring inflation.  Not bad for just taking a walk, huh?   So get on out there and join in the fun.  Whole families can do it.  Why take a family vacation to Yellowstone when you can drive into a smoggy metropolitan area and walk endlessly for coinage.  You'll have so much fun you'll wonder what it took you so long!
* Your results may not be the same as the Copper Strike King due to persistence, topography, eyesight, age actuarial tables, location, percentage of homeless also canvassing the area and regional outlooks toward money.

Flashback Friday

Class, Or Lack Thereof The Dwight Vice gravestone in Oquawka, Illinois. I bring this old chestnut out every so often just to remind me that class is classless.  Dwight Vice was killed in his home near Oquawka in 2001.  It was one of those things that can generate crime:  two guys thought Dwight had a lot of money stashed at home because of his pot-selling sideline to supplement his fishing job.   Not really one of those big drug deals gone-bad things.  Marijuana was, according to the trial, about the only stuff Dwight sold.   But these two guys barge into the house and killed Dwight and attempted to kill his 11 year old kid, Darryl, before they took off with what money they could find.   His son, now 23, was stabbed in the back and left for dead.  He survived and is wheelchair bound and has undergone several surgeries to repair his wounds.  He will be paralyzed for life.   None of this is pleasant.  Reading the facts of the murder and attempted murder are most unpleasant

Summer Swim

It's Monday and the start of another work week.  Except for me.  I have the week off because the parents of my daycare charges are taking the week off, too. This is one of those wordless posts I love on Mondays so I can put my laziness in full view of loyal readers.  These pics need no words.  Why muddy the waters?   They were taken at the pool at Sinkhole Estates aka Death Valley.  The nice thing about this pool is it is heated in winter.  If one must find positives in one's situation, I suppose that is one.  But, please, no more.

Florida Air Museum - Part 3

Welcome back to a pretty neat tour of the Florida Air Museum in Lakeland Florida.  There's a lot to see and a couple of the old Geezer Gold Wing guys are already sitting down instead of walking around looking at the exhibits. That's John who is wore out and making a call to his wife.  In all honesty, John was pretty well bushed before the ride.  He told me his daughter's family was down from one of the Carolina's with the grand kids and he must have played with them too much.   He's about to take off on his own and head for home, but he's going to miss a couple of neat things out on Hangar A.   But, before we walk over there, we have lots yet to see here.  If you saw The Aviator with Leonardo DiCaprio playing Howard Hughes, you'll remember that he went up in a plane during the filming of one of his movies to prove a point about flying.  He crashed trying to execute a roll and this is a picture of the plane he crashed.  Note the propeller
