My wife always gets on to me about looking on the ground for things. Boy was I happy I picked up that gift card in the parking lot that was just laying there. Actually I picked it up thinking I would turn it in but noticed there was no name and figuring that it was used I almost threw it away. I stopped by the Shell station and wow, it said there was $20 available. It didn't buy much gas but it was $20 that I didn't have before.

The gas station I stopped at was at Seven Springs and Perrine Ranch. I found the card down in St. Petersburg at the parking garage of USF.

Is your head all knotty from watching where your going, instead of watching where your going? LOL. Mine is permanently bruised. Nice find. Bongo

Heh, I found a few dollars blowing around in their parking garage once while meeting up with a friend after his class was over... us college kids just don't realize how absent minded we can be while having our minds filled with other things such as girls and study info for exams. Ah well, your gain apparently... lol
