that Cyndi landed. her trip was good with good wx the whole way.
Cyndi is off
to Switzerland
I vote no!
For starters, I never really thought about this until I moved overseas. Now, I’m living in the UK and hope the US never switches to dollar coins exclusively. Why? Well, here, we have 1 and 2 pound coins and no bills. The smallest bill is a 5 pound note. I can pay for a purchase with a tenner (10 pound note) and get nothing but coins. And they weight a ton.
I hate it and i think most americans would too. This is a horrible idea.
[Update 2011-03-11 18:40:52] Here’s another article talking about how people in the US dislike dollar coins. After using 1 and 2 pound coins, I am one of the one’s who would vote no one dollar coins.

I passed!
my height and weight came in to give me a bmi of 29.2. not what I want to be at long term but I met the test!
headed home
had a great weekend with the cbc. youth at carroty wood. but I’m glad to be heading home.
I’ll admit it …
… I miss Serbia. being in eastern Europe reminds me of that.
in Prague
just wanted to let everyone know that I made it to Prague just fine. sitting at Starbucks trying to talk to Cyndi.
at the airport … again
once more I find myself at the airport. but today I am flying instead of just picking a person up. though I discovered that you can’t check in at lhr until 5am. arg … a 20 min wait and the good coffee shop is behind security!
at the airport
I’m waiting at the airport. wonder how much of my life has been spent like this?

A Hotter Pepper
Cyndi tells me that I’ve killed my tastebuds because I put hot sauce on my food. I’m sure the guys at Subway think I’m crazy when I ask for more jalapenos on my sub 3 times. I just like my food to taste.
When I moved to the UK, my view of British/English food was that it was fairly bland. That was reinforced when I went to an indian takeaway for curry. I asked for it to be made hot…Isaac could have eaten it and not batted an eye. It was so not hot at all.
Today though, the BBC has an article about a new record-breaking chilli. And it is grown in the UK. I can’t believe it!
