Well, our internet is fixed. What fixed it? I got paranoid and recycled everything, and stuff is magically working now.

On the down side, we still don't have clean clothes; we went to do laundry tonight, and realised that we hadn't enough change to do even one load of laundry. We'll have to buy a couple rolls of loonies and quarters tomorrow night, if possible, and get stuff done tomorrow night. Any much longer and I'll be at the stage of trying to improvise underwear from things I find around the apartment.

Went to the gym tonight, and had a decent workout. I worked my arms to the point where I didn't have the strength left in my triceps to get my shirt off; I had to take it off sideways to shower. I did, however stop at a point where I should be able to go again tomorrow if I take it easy, and, more importantly, if I get sleep tonight.

Glad your 'net connection is working better.

I came home with one looney, among a total of CDN$2.66 left over after I changed my money back to US$ at the airport yesterday. I think that's the least amount of Canadian money I've ever come back with in innumerable trips across the border. :-) As coins go, I must say Canada's are better looking. I particularly like the bimetal "tooney" (? - I think I've heard the two called that).

It is indeed called a twonie.

And that's a rather impressively small amount of change to arrive home with.

I try and do the same thing with Yankee money. Damn but it's the ugliest money in the world.

I still have some kroner and possibly a few forints left over, but I did that on purpose.

The smaller denominations of coins in Austria are plastic! Go figure.

You will get absolutely no argument from this Yankee on that opinion.

Plastic Austrian coins? Wow.
