<p>[QUOTE="Fallguy, post: 4306360, member: 84739"]I especially like FOGs; nothing like keeping your nose to the ground! Quite some time ago I was in a carpool that would meet at a State Park&Ride lot. As I was usually early, I'd just wander around the lot playing kick the can or stone or whatever. Wasn't long before I started noticing coins laying around; a penny here, a quarter there, and before to long I was raking in 20 to 50 cents most days. To bad that I wasn't into coin collecting then; who knows what I may have had in my hand (besides germs). My biggest find there was a wallet with a few bucks in it. Fortunately there was a State Police post not far away so there it went; wallet, few bucks, and all!</p><p><br /></p><p>However, my Biggest Find of all times was when we went out to Santa Fe to visit my daughter and family. The City was having on of their large street fairs, which we were looking over, when an absolute deluge hit. With the streets filling with water we made a dash for the car, but as we were running I noticed some odd green mixed in with a bunch debris trying to get sucked into a sewer drain. I stopped and sure enough, the "green" belonged to TWO one hundred dollar bills! As Lord knows who may have lost them, I scooped them up, gave one to my granddaughter and bought us all a nice dinner with other. Bottom line, never hurts to look down once in awhile.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and thanks [USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER] for the post. It's nice in these trying times to come across something that jogs our thoughts to more pleasant events from better days gone by. Semper Fidelis[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
