April 29: On a trip to the 99 Cents Only store, I found a penny near the cashier. But, the big score came upon leaving the store... a small change purse laying in the parking lot with no name or return address. No identification and no one to return it to... means I'll add another $7.32 to the Found Money Jar.

April 27: Ajay scooped a dime and fifteen pennies from the floor near the counter of a 7-11 store on Nordhoff Blvd. in the San Fernando Valley during a quick candy stop before our movie at the Pacific Winnetka theater... we saw The Forbidden Kingdom. Love that Jackie Chan! I found a penny at the snack bar in the theater.

FMJ - Day 757 "Free Car Wash!"
April 26: Found two pennies... forgot where. Ajay had a baseball game in the afternoon... he gets a hit at every "at bat." Coach does all the pitching, of course.
While getting my receipt for a gas purchase... I discovered that a previous customer didn't tear there receipt properly and left behind the code for their wash... a $5.99 Ultimate Wash! My car did need a wash... so, thanks very much! I guess the line was too long at the time of there purchase and they thought that coming back later would make more sense... I'll bet they'll be miffed when they discover the receipt is lacking the car wash code.

Later in the morning, I went to Rancho Simi Tennis Courts for a little practice. Found a penny in the parking lot and a nickel on the court. For lunch, we did it cheap at Costco in Simi Valley. I found 3 pennies at the snack bar.
Ajay and I stopped at the McDonald's on Yosemite Ave. for a treat. We picked up 2 pennies.

It's Tax Time! FMJ - Day 746
April 15: The dreadful day... Filing your taxes. This year, as was the case for the last 7 years, I owed money to the tune of $2,621.00. My wife and I paid almost $28,000 to the Feds without so much as a 'thank you." Sucks to be successful!
While waiting for my tax guy to get the final number and file electronically, I decided to spend the morning taking a long walk. How long? I walked a little over 10 miles with my tennis racquet bag on my back. So, I carried 15 extra pounds the whole way. Why would I do this? Well, first off, it was out of a slight necessity as I put my Jaquar in for a brake service and didn't have anyone available to drop me off at the garage for the pick-up, and I, secondly, wanted to see what walking 10 miles would feel like. I was surprised to find that the walk was quite rejuvenating. I felt that i could have walked back, too. I played tennis for a hour afterwards and felt fine. So, I think the walk did me good.
How much money did I find on the walk? Try 46 cents in the form of 1 badly driven over quarter found while crossing the Stearns Street exit ramp, a dime found near an Erringer Rd. bus stop, and 11 pennies -- 4 found resting atop a concrete pillar for a street light, 5 found in the Burger King on Cochran St and the final 2 pennies were found along Simi Valley sidewalks. I also picked up 7 recyclable cans and bottles.

April 14: I found a dime at Tommy's Hamburgers on Madera Rd. "Hey, if you don't see the shack... TAKE IT BACK!" That's the Tommy's slogan. Love it. I also found a couple of "transit tokens:" One was for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority -- seems to be for the subway. The other is from the Metropolitan Transit Authority -- wherever that is. Good for "One Fare." Must be up in Boston? The tokens were from the coin reject shoot of the coin counting machines at the Von's on Yosemite Ave.

FMJ - Day 738
April 7: First find of the day was a nickel in front of the Taco Bell on Cochran St. In the evening, we made way to the Wood Ranch Shopping Center for Subway's $5 footlongs for dinner. While walking the center, we came across a bunch of coins left on the top of a mailbox. The coins were burnt and partially destroyed... as if they had been in a fire or dropped in acid. There was $4.21 in all. I took them to Wells Fargo bank to see about turning them in... sure enough, the bank took them and I received 4 crisp $1 bills and 2 dimes and penny.
So, thanks to whoever your are out there. Your donation is graciously accepted, indeed.

April 4: 27 cents found... 26 pennies came from the coin counting machine at the Pavillion's Grocery store on Alamo Rd. -- a late night stop for chocolate milk after spending 2 hours in the Border's book store.
Picking up the kids from school, I scooped a penny from its own despair on Abilene St. It was so shiny and new (2007)... I think it'd be a crime to have let it get squashed by incessant car tires.
