the milkman

does anybody remember milkmen? i sure don't. by the time i was pouring my own milk it had already moved from a daily delivered item with butter, eggs and newspaper to a refrigerated commodity in our local supermarket. someday i'll have to go do some research on what led to the demise of the nation's milkmen.
at any rate i don't think any of them ever drove a ride as cool as this. it's an old fossil watch tin that made its way into my hands from a friend who had just made the purchase of the watch. it used to sit on my desk at work and collect loose change from the taco truck that came around each day.
now i keep my very small coin collection in it. a couple of well drink tokens from dive bars, 50's wheat pennies, a canadian dime, subway token and bicentennial kennedy half dollar to name a few. yes, the milkman still delivers and he collects as well.
