On my way out of the store I must have dropped the grocery receipt and the cash, just $20. When I returned home I couldn't find the cash I'd just withdrawn and called the store on the off-chance someone found and turned-in the money... someone did. It was great to recover my $20. It was better having someone return it. | ||

I sold "my" Ute for more than I was askin'. I'm not sure what to say other than, it's good to have friends... Thanks, Schroeder. | ||
