Scream a Song of OnePence

Whew! I narrowly avoided another shut-out this week in my Future Pennyillionaire quest.

On MONDAY, November 5th, I was leaving Orb K feeling dejected. Rejected. Summarily dismissed without a penny! But right by the door, a fine specimen stood up and screamed to be found.


Seriously! How could I doubt that this penny was meant just for me? Not merely lolling on the questionably-maintained tile, nearly camouflaged...but shining brightly, all propped up to be noticed, between me and the exit door!

Yes, there it was, leaning against the donut case. It couldn't have been more obvious unless I was a daily donut-buyer!


Of course this cheeky little penny was showing me his TAIL side, but I'm not picky! I photographed this 2015 beauty, and pocketed him like he had proper manners! One more drop towards filling my goblet.

    1. Nope! This ain't horseshoes! In keeping with my long-time career policy, extra credit is not an option.

    1. I know, right? It's almost as if he jumped into a noodle dish soaking in the sink, to prepare for me.
