  • Weighty matters

    From Joy Beeson@21:1/5 to All on Sat Aug 15 22:53:51 2020
    According to the bathroom scales, my jersey weighs only a pound. It
    hefted like more than that. (My keys, etc. were in the pockets.)

    Then I weighed my wallet: two and a half pounds. I thought I was
    overstating it when I said that I carry a pound of coins!

    But of course it weighs more now that I can't get dollar bills and do
    have a pint of quarters.

    Over here it is different. We used to have prices in single "baht"
    and/or fractions there of. Like 1 baht 50, and one had to carry
    coins. Now with all the "progress" here prices are now in multiply
    bahts and what used to cost 1 baht 50 stang (coins) now cost 20 baht
    and we can use paper money :-(
