By charity, goodness, restraint, and self-control men and woman alike can store up a well-hidden treasure -- a treasure which cannot be given to others and which robbers cannot steal. A wise person should do good. That is the treasure that cannot be lost.

It was a while ago, but I found a nifty necklace. I think it's pretty cheap, blue stones that are probably not turquoise and silver metal. It has little open work balls and flur de lis type hanging bits with the blue stones spaced between.

What a find I had yesterday! It was my birthday and the street goddess gave me a beautiful, perfect little plastic T-Rex. I was stopped at a light during my morning commute, kind of spacey because I had just finished my Crossfit workout and was generally feeling llike Jell-O. I looked down, and there it was, looking back up at me. I picked it up and it is now affixed to the Bob Jackson. Now the next time that school bus pulls up with its mirror 2 inches from my head, I can RRRRAAAAAAWWWWRRRR!!! at it with my T-Rex.
Life is good.

Inner tube on ride on Tuesday evening. I hope the person that lost it did not get a flat. I only picked it up on my ride home..it was still there.
Have found 2 - $5 bills in the last 2 weeks. But not on my bike.

This wasn't on a ride either. Today my lunch walking partner and I were on our river trail that goes through town. A drunk was staggering towards us. He sat down on the ledge and proceeded to topple over backwards onto the rocks. It happened in slow motion, but he never dropped his cigarette. He ended with his behind in the air with his pants mostly down! Not a pretty sight--to see a big, hairy, bare booty staring at us. We asked him if he needed help. He was so drunk he couldn't even answer us. We walked on to the police dept. and told them he needed help.
Tis better to wear out than to rust out....

This morning, I found an ID cluster (about 4 IDs on a strap!
) for a guy who works at Walter Reed. I recognized the picture on the ID - he's a bike commuter and I had ridden with him before when our paths crossed. I stuffed the IDs in my jersey pocket and continued my ride. About 10 minutes later, I saw him riding back on the opposite side of the street. He was riding like he was obviously looking for something on the ground. I called for him to stop, waited for traffic to clear, and he came back around to me.
"Did you lose your ID?" I asked.
"Yeah. It fell out of my bag. I didn't realize my bag was open."
Fortunately, the ID was the only thing he lost out of the bag.
I gave him back his ID and off we rode. It certainly made my morning easier, b/c now I don't have to figure out how to track him down!
