If you keep your eyes open you'll see odd sights.
I was walking from my motorcycle to the Starbucks in Syosset. Something in the parking lot caught my eye. I mean literally *IN* the parking lot.
A coin! An actual U.S. nickel. Judging from its half-encased position the coin got embedded there when the asphalt pavement was laid down; it'd be impossible to slip in after the pavement hardened.
An oddity as strange as this deserves comment. Perhaps a metaphor, perhaps humor. Any ideas?
I'm quoting Yogi Berra who said "A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore" -- and adding this nickel ain't worth anything anymore!
Good spot. I wonder what date is on the coin?
ReplyDeleteAt least as old as the pavement.
DeleteWow! Hawkeye.
ReplyDeleteThat's an oddity indeed, well spotted Ally! xxx
