walking 50:00 [2]
An early morning walk on the beach. Walking barefoot in the deep sand is really enjoyable, but hard work! Today however, it paid off. Literally. I think.
Yesterday afternoon, a garbage slick from NYC came ashore at Normandy Beach which is where my sister's beach house is. It closed down the beaches as there were syringes and all sorts of other good stuff washing up onto the sand. This morning they had machines out cleaning up and now - late morning - they've re-opened. In any case, it was pretty empty this morning, the lifeguards were telling people to stay not only out of the water but up away from the water's edge. So perhaps I was paying a little more attention than usual to where I was putting my feet. But as I was walking along, I found a $100 bill just laying on the sand. Couldn't believe it. Asked the life guards what the policy was when you found money and they said just keep it. I have no idea if it washed up or if someone dropped it or what. And it's possible it's fake. I don't normally carry $100 bills so can't compare but it looks real enough. But maybe not. We shall see.
