1. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought?

I haven't looked yet.

2. How much cash do you have on you?

• One $5.00 bill, Canadian, from my last trip north. Technically that's $5.05 US, but since nobody around here will accept it as payment, it's a moot point.
  
  
• $1.62 in change, all US currency, as follows:
  
  
  • One $1.00 coin. The United States Mint is trying AGAIN to teach an old dog new tricks. They haven't figured out that the way to make it work is to stop making the paper bills. Me, I wish they'd start recirculating the $2.00 bill, because they're handy to have. I can get them at the bank, but that's about it.
    
    
  • One quarter.
    
    
  • One dime.
    
    
  • Two nickels, one old, one new.
