It has been an ok summer this year. I had a lot of fun and peace playing in the water. The strange part is absolutely no police this year. Four times at Belle Isle they were out but left me completely alone.
I was supposed to go out this week but something happened that made me want to stay close to home.
A few days ago my neighbor died. He was 75 and a hoarder. You can't walk through his house, it is impossible. Well the vultures arrived because they knew he stashed a lot of money around and they started looking for it. They put a huge dumpster outside and wanted help filling it up. They would throw things out the front door and I would put it in the dumpster for them. They tossed out new tools, new colognes, new decks of cards and a lot of other brand new items, just looking for money. They told me anything they tossed in the dumpster I could have.
So yesterday I go scrounging with another neighbor and start filling up a box of things that I could keep or sell. I open one trash bag to find 6.00 in a plastic holder. A bit later in the same bag I come across two 20.00 bills. While playing in the dumpster I come across some bedding. I am tossing it in the back of the dumpster. I pick up a pillow case and it has something inside. Envelopes of money. I stuff them in my box and we finish searching for treasures. I take the box home and we decide to split the money I found.
Inside those envelopes was 9400.00 in cash. My half was 4700.00. Do I feel guilty? Not at all. If I wouldn't have saved it, the landfill or someone else would have got it. Since the grandson that is inheriting the home already has bought a newer truck for him and his mother, I know they are finding tons of cash.
They want me to help this week. I will gladly fill up the dumpster for them. But since they are just greedy and not caring about him (they tossed his high school diploma and many other papers) I will get paid and see what other treasures I can latch onto.
Here is my gold for the year. A tad bit over 213 grams.
