September 29: I have been experimenting with making drop-offs at a weigh-only center for our recycling that it nearer to my daughter's school. The attendant will handcount up to 50 bottles or cans for a manual receipt. This is rather slow but at least you get full value for the deposits. I've made several trips as it's location is along our way to pick-up my daughter from school and not much extra gas is consumed in the process. I've reduced my stash to the tune of $9.45 and I've added this amount to the B&C Fund.

Well, It's been a while. An Update!
September 25, 2009: Just thought I'd update the blog as it's been a while... I was planning to bring this back to regular everyday post but I've become quite busy with running t he book shop. So, here's a post of a few finds to update the FMJ:
1. I found a single dollar bill in a hardback novel that I purchased for the bookstore's inventory.
2. I found a single dollar bill along the street infront of Ajay's school.
3. I have found 16 sixteen pennies in various locations through out Simi Valley.
4. I found a nickel at the rancho simi tennis courts in August.
5. Ajay found a $5 dollar bill while shopping in Porter Ranch with his mother.
6. I found a quarter whilepumping gas at the Yosemite Shell station.
We turned in $8.85 in recyclables since the last post.... I haven't had much time for taking in the recycling since starting the business as my store hours conflict with the hours that the recycling center stays open. So, I do have a lot of "stash" to turn in... maybe next week.
Total finds since last post: $7.46
Total Found Since January 1, 2000: $992.14
