"i think this will be the single greatest windfall of pennies i ever get." -p
so p & i drove out to his friend's rental house to assess the damage cause by the most recent renters as the friend has now moved across the country. what a sorry mess-- the renters left all but their bedsheets, from what i could see. An entire life's worth of stuff. i guess the woman and her two children just picked up and went to live with her sister, so they didn't bring any of their furnishings with them. it looks like the guy may still be squatting there.
these people are the working poor, and it's astonishing to realize that they were making $2000 per month rent payments before they fell behind. that's really not so poor at all. the only places around here that are cheaper are in the most ghetto school systems in (maybe) the country. i hope that they were able to move down to north carolina or something.
the friend who owns the house asked us to take whatever we wanted and as much as we could, 'cause he's going to have to fly up and get a dumpster or something for the rest. p made out with a big 2 quart container of pennies, to his delight. he is rolling them now, and is really excited, but we are both kind of sad for those people.
