Anyhoo...we stopped at the rest area just before we hit Springfield. Hick walked in ahead of me. He's faster, and had to go worse. I hobbled along, and noticed it right away!
A penny! Meant just for me! Laying in the state of Oklahoma on the big floor map.
It was a heads-up 1992. Hick had carelessly walked right over it. Said he didn't even see it. I'm lucky he didn't kick it under the vending machine!
Sadly, this penny did not bring me luck in Oklahoma.

Oklahoma, my place of birth! My folks left before I was 1, they wanted better cocktails. If the penny was a 1946 I would say it was mine!
ReplyDeleteIf the penny was a 1946, it was meant for you, and I, being the conduit to facilitate such a find, would have mailed it to you! Without even expecting a dirty-water cocktail in return.
DeleteWe drove across the arm of Oklahoma 40+ years ago. Should make a trip back.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to the arm. We usually end up in the gut, in Norman, to visit The Pony at OU. Didn't go that far this time.
DeleteI had to get out my atlas to find out Oklahoma is so close to you, just a little southwest.
ReplyDeleteAbout 5 hours as the Hick sweaves!
DeleteYou are doubling your odds by searching in another state.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of mad at Hick, because he found TWO pennies, actually IN Oklahoma, while I found NONE! And he didn't even tell me until days later.
DeleteI am faster than hubs and I beat him every time.
ReplyDeleteThat's impressive! When I come out, I usually find Hick at the vending machine, sneaking a clandestine candy bar.
