1] Tips from the Peanut Gallery!

* hockey pucks, 7-Eleven bucks, full vodka bottles, and full cases of beer are not technically acceptable, but the beer cans and vodka bottles sure are! i'm not sure i want to taste "Lucky" beer anyway. it sounds... unlucky, somehow.

2] Strange and/or Relevant Questions I have Received!

*if money is bent, is it still money? yes! let the teller worry about it. alternately, a sledgehammer could be taken to it prior to rolling.

3] General News!

*people in Jamaica drop money too, but they tend to stand on it so you can't get it! i saw a Canadian nickle under the foot of a Jamaican person at the airport but could not wait to get it. it was in that "no stopping!" zone.

* i apologize for the lateness of this newsletter. Easter and all that.

* we started the week with (give or take) $193.03
