Val Had a Cents of Deja Vu

I had a feeling this was going to happen, just like in the past. I had my Saturday material all written and pictured-up and set to publish itself automatically while I was throwing money away with careless abandon at the casino. Uh huh. Had my penny story all ready for the week...and of course, once I got back, found a penny that very day, messing up another of my Future Pennyillionaire weeks, which start on Sunday, and end on Saturday. Like a calendar, you know.

SATURDAY, April 21, there it was, at my feet in Country Mart, as I checked out with some bananas for Hick, and other items I cannot recall.

It was a shiny 2016, face down. Of course. I snatched it up quicker than you can say Val Thevictorian! Put it in my shirt pocket for safekeeping.

But what to my wandering eye should appear, as I turned from buying scratchers at the machine I like here...but ANOTHER penny!

Scarcely five minutes had passed when I found this shinier 2014 version near the inner exit door!

Face up! Helping the odds even out. I snatched this one before that man at the other scratcher machine saw it, and put it in my pants pocket so I could remember which was which.

SUNDAY, April 22, I was thrilled to see my Future Pennyillionaire fortune build, with the discovery of another drop-in-the-goblet at Orb K.

This penny was a 1994. The year Genius was born! What could be luckier than that?

Finding it FACE UP, that's what! Oh...

...unless perhaps it's finding a SECOND PENNY on the walk back to the car. I almost missed this one, hiding in that crack. Had to back up and take a closer look.

Yes, it was definitely a penny. A 1979, face down. Again, that first inside penny went into my shirt pocket, and the outside penny into my pants pocket. Don't worry, if I find three, I have another pants pocket!

Actually, the luckiest thing this week was on MONDAY, April 23, when I found a penny in the middle of nowhere. I'm not even going into that whole story today, but here's the penny.

It was pure happenstance that I was able to harvest this one. I might tell the tale in a couple days. Or tomorrow. BEWARE, antipennyites!

Here's the shiny 2001, FACE UP! The tale of how I got here to find it is extraordinary in my opinion, but just a coincidence in Hick's. We all know how much stock I put in Hick's opinions...
