[TheForge] Lucky Me!!!

[Dan Tull]

Isn't it neat when that angel on our shoulder tells us to do something we
normally wouldn't .  SEVERAL times I have had that feeling , to go back and 
look again, or dig deeper, that there
is something there for ME.
Did the yard sale thing:  from the street, I could tell it was all 
"software"(clothes,etc.) , but something said
you're already here , go on up.
Spotted small flat leather case, with $.25 on it. Was hoping it was a small 
magnifying glass for mom.
Felt heavy.  Slipped open the top to find German vernier 
caliper/protractor/ruler
pristine condition.  What surprised me was that I didn't even haggle.
