I tuned into El Ocho to find the 

World Dog Surfing                Championships 

taking place...

But the ABC app stuttered...

...I got it launched just in time to see the end credits.

D4rw1n: I'm shattered

b1-67er: That's ROUGH.

Merry KTXTmas!

Smokey: Merry Christmas to the b1 series. My version of the continual car. The 1999 Toyota rolls on with 432k miles. No snow up here but expected next week. Beautiful nonetheless.

Changing the world

D4rw1n: b1-66er may be particularly interested in this. I just returned from a business trip to London. As I always do, I replaced my unused Pound Sterling bank notes into my office desk drawer of different envelopes of banknotes

sidenote: I have a lot of banknotes for all over because some establishments used to not take credit cards, like taxis in the UK for many years

sidenote 2: the UK has an utterly weird rule that when they discontinue a series of banknotes, you have to turn your old ones in at the Bank of England, and no place else, to get legal tender. Nobody takes the old bank notes. so I did that on this trip with some old notes that I had from an old trip. By the way, the Bank of England has no branches. You have to go to the Bank of England. There's only one.

The fattest envelope is UAE dirham. I've got 950. It's worth over a little over US$200. If the notes I have are still legal, tender at all, some of the envelopes are much skinnier, but are worth a lot more. The UAE envelope is really only fat because I've got a travel brochure in there from around 2006

b1-66er: You're right...

...I LOVE IT.
