Let me tell you about a lucky penny.
Roughly about 18 months ago they repaved King Street in Lancaster City. Two days after the work was done, I was crossing King Street and noticed a penny heads up. Of course, being the change saving person I am (Scotland Fund), I reached down to pick it up. Here is the kicker, it was stuck solid in the tar on the street and here I am on a street with pretty busy traffic trying to pick it up. Several days later I must have forgotten that the penny was stuck and I did the same thing again. Now since I was so dumb twice and did not get hit by a car, I consider it my lucky penny. Everyday when I cross King Street, I make sure I step on that penny to remind me that I have some luck and it never ceases to make me smile. So if you are ever in my work neighborhood feel free to share in my luck and step on the penny.

That's funny...I would never attempt to pick up a penny off the street in NYC...
...now let me tell you about my lucky $20 bill...
Perhaps you should walk your daily path late at night with a jar of pennies and a tube of Krazy Glue--- slapping my face down every 20 steps.
That way, you'll have even more luck! :o)
Jeez, some people sure to waste time on silly things.... wish I has time like that to waste but as usual I am way toooooo Busy!!!!!!
I think that's a really cool story. How cool.
