So I noticed the other day that they have released a buffalo nickel and it kinda made me think a bit. Is Mint just trying in a relatively easy way to get coins out of ciruclation? You've got the state quarters, which so many people are collecting (even though since everyone is collecting they'll be pretty much worth about nothing, since they're not rare). Other specialty coins coming out. How much of a diffrence could it make?

So this morning I got all drenched. I had a couple of letters to mail, so I had to go to the post office to get stamps (since I don't generally have 'em at home since I do online bill pay almost exclusivly). But I got a parking ticket on Monday when I went to the city council meeting, so I needed to pay that and another medical bill. So I picked up the stamps and got a little damp doing it. Not so bad. But coming in here today from the outside, I got drenched. The rain was just coming down absurdly so. I got a few chuckles form my coworkers too.

So far this year I've spent $238.20 out of pocket...well out of pre-tax flexable spending. My insurance has picked up $898.29 in physician charges. I couldn't get my pharmacy plan to open up and state how much they have spent, but it's probably a few bucks there too. This medical crap is expensive.

Oh...and they changed the the direction of the one way street in valley junction. Which...well...I find dreadfully annoying. Before I could enter the road from Grand, drive down, hit the post office, head to railrod or 63rd and then head to work. Now I have to drive PAST the post office to go there. It's obnoxious now.
