Today I found $20.11. . . 11 pennies and a $20 bill. I also found a blue glass fish, which sadly will not augment the daily totals.

Following an afternoon appointment I headed towards the Astros game and I found one penny in the road by a stoplight. I also spotted a car wash on Telephone Rd., and I stopped there to look for change. It was there that I found one penny and a blue glass fish. The blue glass fish, which is destine for my “Not Change Cup,” resembles a gummy fish, except it is made of glass, not gummy.

Following the Astros game, a rare win, I stopped at a Sonic for some change searching. It was there that I found $20.09 (nine pennies $20). The pennies were scattered about the car parking area as was the $20 bill. I was actually on the phone with Bailey, and we came to the agreement that it is acceptable for me to count this find towards my totals since I have already passed the $100 mark. Incidently, this is the third $20 bill that I have found since the race started, but the first one that is counting towards the totals.

On the autograph front I didn’t need too many signatures (the Cincinnati Reds have already been in town twice before) and I didn’t get many. I added four autographs to a very full ball, none notable.

Totals for the day: $20.11
Race Totals: $157.60
