I have found 4 lost billfolds in my almost 80 years. Three of them have been this year. Two of them this year had $20+, credit cards, and licenses. I informed the owners, and both insisted I take $100 for my trouble. The third one had no ID but did have a significant amount of Costa Rican cash- really significant.
In the past 11 months, 5 close friends/acquaintances/team members have died under inexplicable circumstances.
Today I found I had a $20K wire transfer into my checking account from a barrister I have never heard of before. I called his office and found out my 1st Ex-Wife died a month ago and left me the money. He avoided probate, any accountability, and claims only he and I know of the transaction.
Then he dropped another bomb telling me by dearly departed EX's husband died last Friday. He said there is another cow to be milked. I know the late man. He was OK, an alcoholic, and played major college football and a couple of years in the Not For Long league. We were not close, but I got him out of a few scrapes due to Demon Rum. Strange as Hades, but he has left me some money too.
Right now I am almost afraid to venture out the door. I figure my jig is up and a run of misfortune is stalking me like Rosie O'Donnell looking for a sugar rush dessert cart.
I am not superstitious, but I am a little 'stitious'...
WTF
Oh, put your expendable cash on Bama.
