Economicly Stimulated

Today I saw that Meg and I got our Economic Stimulus Package sometime over the past few days. I like to refer to it as our loan from Henry. What are we going to get with it? A big shopping trip to Wal-Mart to buy cheap Chinese crap, of course! ;) Seriously, it just seems a bit dumb to me. I like checks of course, but what's the point besides making politicians in both parties able to profess that they did something about the economy. How lame. I want real, preventative solutions, not borrowed money that won't have much impact. Does anyone claim that we're avoiding a recession with these checks? If these checks are so great and work so well why not give double what we got? or triple?

A teller saved me a Wheat penny today (1957D) and I found a silver dime (1961D) on top of the coin counting machine. That's a good start!

Yesterday, after a great brunch Meg made for my sister's birthday we got a good surprise when I ripped up the carpet in our back room. The wood floors look great! I was worried they'd be damaged.

Found: 8 pennies (1 outside our house in Shrewsbury, 6 at the car wash, 1 at Sovereign Bank), 4 dimes (1 at the car wash, 3 at Sovereign Bank)
