Today I found 26 cents. . .2 dimes and 6 pennies.

On my way to the Astros game this morning I stopped at the car wash by my apartment complex and found 13 cents (one dime & three pennies). At the stadium I found 11 cents outside by parking meters (one dime & one penny). The dime was laying at the base of a meter that I parked next to and the penny was at the base of another meter across the street. On the way home I stopped at Sonic and found two cents in two parking spaces.

There were not many notable autographs for the day. I got Brad Ausmus, our current catcher and former Gold Glove winner, and Aaron Harang. Aaron was quite nice and actually came over to me and asked to sign my team ball. I had called him the other day and he had told me he would sign later but I never saw him again. He apologized for not signing the other day and squeezed his autograph onto a very full ball. Nice guy. The Astros won again. I don’t think it will last.

Former President George Bush was at the game today and almost got him to sign a baseball for me. However, the strategic location which I chose to wait at proved to be the place that he did not exit. Thus, I was not rewarded for my efforts. That’s ok, since I have gotten him before.

Totals for the day: 26 cents
Race Totals: $36.90
