What are the odds that a seasoned coin-hound like Val would not see any change for three weeks straight? I'd say slim to none. Something is amiss. For the third week in a row, not a single coin was harvested for Val's Future Pennyillionaire Fortune! Not only was no coin nabbed, but there was not even a sighting, nor a reason to leave one behind.
How likely is it that Val can be in the right place at the wrong time, or the wrong place at the right time, for three entire weeks? Twenty-one days of no coinage! I'm pretty sure that's a new record. And NOT one that I've ever aspired to set.
I'll never surpass last year's totals at this rate!

Perhaps inflation has caused shoppers to be more aware of the value of their change and therefore, worthy of the effort to pick them up from the ground or to hold onto the coins a bit tighter, in the first place. Our paper reported, that despite the high rate of inflation, people are still spending like crazy. Maybe they are trying to beat the next price increase that may be destined by the next week, or next day, or next hour, for all we know. We live in a small community and the prices of things just keep going up here. I see it quite frequently with the groceries, especially. I, personally, am not doing a lot of other spending, but do price things out of curiosity. I'd be watching my pennies too, just looking at what things cost. Ranee (MN)
ReplyDeleteMaybe they've been saving for their Halloween candy. Or Thanksgiving dinner. Or Christmas.
DeleteI'll be praying for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Eventually my luck will turn1
DeleteThis does not bode well for your future pennyillionairedom. Even Steven must be on his Christmas Break earlier this year.
ReplyDeleteSo true. I might only make it to Pennythousandaire. But Even Steven DID give me scratcher winners of $100 and $77 yesterday!
DeleteSince I have been so dizzy, I have been looking down at my feet and moving them carefully ..... and nary a coin have I discovered on the pavement!
ReplyDeleteThe curse here has been broken!
