Free Parking
I decided to spend the afternoon downtown at Panera. All the parking spaces on the street were occupied, so I decided to head to the garage to try to find a spot. Space #96 was open, so I took that. At the pay machine, I entered in my parking spot number 9-6. I popped 2 dollar bills in the machine, and asked for 2 1/2 hours. Change: 50 cents. I grab it and start walking away. I glanced down and realized that these quarters were not silver, but gold. Wait, they are sacajewa dollar coins! So, basically the parking garage payed me 50 cents to park there for the afternoon. I like to think of it as God providing for me.

It looks like our paths almost crossed. I ran across your name on Jason Allen’s blog.
I was at MU until 2004 as a PhD student in math education. I’m glad to hear that you are working in the BSU at MU, and I’m glad to “meet” you on Voxtropolis.
