"Before you know it as the years go by, you're just like other people you have seen, with all those peculiar human ailments. Just another vehicle for temper and vanity and rashness and all the rest. Who wants it? Who needs it? These things occupy the place where a man's soul should be." -- Henderson the Rain King

How I Made $2...err 75 cents

While I was browsing through books today at Half Price Books, I happened upon a $1.25 copy of John Steinbeck's Cannery Row. I picked it up to take a look and was surprised to find two crisp new $1 bills tucked into the back. Perhaps it was intentionally left there to encourage someone to purchase the book? Perhaps someone was using the money as a bookmark (but then why would it be in the back of the book and why would there be $2 instead of $1)? Regardless, I walked out of the store with a copy of the book and 75 cents to spare, not too shabby.

pretty lucky. I usually just find people's old grocery lists and receipts.
