    • Old Money While we were in Woodland with Prairie's dad and grandpa, Prairie took a few minutes to poke around the house and collect some old glassware to bring home. While she was exploring, she found some fun old currency, some of which we recognized, some of which we didn't. I've scanned them in and done a little Wikipedia research, and here's what we came up with. ➡

    • Personality bits and pieces I've often semi-seriously joked that one of the things I'm proudest of in my life is narrowly avoiding becoming the über-sterotypical basement-dwelling pathologically introverted 'geek' by discovering at one point that not only did I actually have a personality, but that it was apparently a rather pleasant one. This ended up putting me in the rather rare position of being a geek who can generally actually cope fairly effectively with the real world. ➡

    • You idiots can't drive We expats get to hear a lot about the Second Amendment and its application back home. 'They give guns to everyone?', my friends ask. 'Don't mind it,' I usually reply, 'they do much worse. They give cars to everyone.' ➡

    • Funny or frightening? Both? Amazon.com customers comment on the American Film Institute's top 20 films of the 20th century. Kind of explains why such tripe becomes so popular these days, and the movies worth seeing are so hard to find (if they even get made). ➡
