Tom!

I love it when you find money floating around!! One day I was heading home from a nice ride from over the hill to Santa cruz!!.........Pulled up to a red light on Santa clara street in down town San Jose stuck my head down to for the dripping sweat!! And long and behold there was a few bills sitting under my front wheel, looked up and up the street and there was a trail of $$$$s!!................I proceeded to get what I can, I must of looked like a crazed chicken out there until they saw what was really happening! As it turns out I think the money fell off of a bumper of an Armor truck!........Boy that guy must of hating life!
