SO glad I did not go back to Rome...

I just checked something on the internet, and 150 euros are 243 American dollars. If you haven't been using foreign currency lately, this probably doesn't really register, but it registers to me. The dollar is ever decreasing, and the euro just keeps getting better. Luckily my dollar is still very good in most parts of the world, including here, but I'll never go back to live in Europe. And they are some lucky bastards.

You might want to add 'Merca to the list of where not to live fulltime... the dollar is shrinking like crazy here too (which is what the rest of the world is predicated on). Gasoline is pushing $5 a gallon in some areas, groceries have gone up by a third, etc... So Hawaii may need to wait...
