A lot of money.

Aloha: I read something a few days ago and just heard on the news about a huge sum of money. It seems that two Japanese men were stopped by Italian police when they tried to cross into Switzerland. They had, in their suitcase, US government bonds with a total value of, are you ready, $134.5 Billion. That is right, with a B. Most of the bonds were $500,000,000 each. There were a few that were worth $1,000,000,000 each. Usually bonds of that denomination are used between governments. As far as I know the guys are not talking, and no one knows if the bonds are extremely good fakes or if they are real. Either way is not good for the USA. Unnamed sources claim that some of the bonds were issued in 1934.

The guy with the front-end loader sure made a mess of "our" road. Now it is a muddy mess.

The weather today is fantastic. The volcano report is SOS.

God bless and take care.
