Buck 20 + 21

The heat eased just enough for a walk in the neighborhood last night. It was beautiful and we were feeling very nostalgic about leaving Hampden and Baltimore.
Buck 20 - dropped by beautiful garden on Chestnutt Street.
Buck 21 - dropped on Hickory after I spied a cutie all grey kitten, even in the dark, I don't miss cute furry little animals.

Bucked up again

So, no one asked me for money buck 20-25 and didn't feel inspired to leave it anywhere. First time I had 5 bucks accumulated to give up. Last night, rushing to get to a poetry reading recommended by a friend, left shorts with 5 bucks on bed and threw on jeans. As soon as we left, I remembered the 5 bucks, but didn't have time to turn around. After poetry reading, a women asks me and my husband for....5 bucks! Exactly! She said, "can you give me 5 bucks for food". Whoa. I couldn't believe it and felt terrible because I coulda said, "yessiree, I have exactly 5 bucks in my pocket for just this occasion" I so bucked up. I'm sad. Husband gave her 4 bucks (regular bucks and all from his wallet and not special numbered bucks for giving). I won't leave the house again without my buck/s!

Buck 17 - 19 some fav Hampden biz


Buck 17 - was left in paint section of Falkenhan's Hardware store. An older woman in one of those house dresses older women wear was in that area right after I placed the buck. I hope she spied it! and Falkenhans rules! I happily walk further to support my fav local hardware store, even though Sirkus is just a block away. Only needed a paintbrush this time.

Buck 18 - was dropped on the floor in the back of Atomic Books. Atomic Books is my FAVORITE store in all of Baltimore! It's cool, they cool and ya know, support local owner-operated businesses!

Buck 19 - was hastily left at the Wine Source. I'm sure I will be there again soon. I shoulda picked something specific to leave the buck under. next time.

Buck 10 - 14 Trip to westernmass

Buck 10 - bought my venti iced coffee for the drive to westernmass and left buck 10 at the bus stop on Roland by Eddie's. Eddie's provided the sandwiches, granola and water for the drive.

Buck 11 - was fittingly left outside the Watering Hole after our last drink for the night with H + J. I started drinking at the Watering Hole when I was underage and spent many nights there with H trying to improve in our pool game. Our pool didn't improve much, but we were exceptional drinkers.

Buck 12 - went to the street musician on Main St.
Buck 13 - went to the next street musician on Main 50 feet away.

Buck 14 - was tossed out the window on College Highway in Southwick. Thanks to E + B for the generous hospitality and beautiful place to stay as we plan our move back.

Buck 9

Buck in bucket at Mt. Royal and North, again. I travel this route almost daily. I predict more boring entries and bucks left at this intersection. Sometimes I wonder if these kids are really collecting for something specific, but that's quickly followed by, who cares. If I am going to give a buck up a day, why not to a school age kid standing at a busy intersection in the hot Baltimore sun.
