Economic crisis

Two stories related to the economic crisis:

  • Every day the pollution is lessening.

  • I went to the bank to transfer some money back to Australia. First you have to buy the AU$ - between the time the teller gave me the quote, and the time the two of us had finished the paperwork (about 40 minutes, they take paperwork seriously) the dollar had fallen sufficiently further that the teller had to give me change. Sufficient change, in fact, to compensate me for the Commonwealth Bank's outrageous charge for banking my money for me. ($15)
