Leave a Penny, Take a Penny

That was the rather embittered version of the traditional penny-cup slogan I saw in a small used CD store on Friday. Perhaps the penny cup had experienced a little too much taking, and not enough giving?

I spent this weekend shopping. This vacation-planning thing sure is hard work. I also got a haircut, and I was astonished at what the lady used to cut my hair. Believe it or not, she did in fact use an actual live beaver. Oh well. I don't think the Italians expect much from us Americans fashion-wise anyway.
