Wanted...
Has anybody seen this bottle of Jones Soda yet? I've looked, but haven't been able to find it anywhere. It's a picture of my son, Kylan, on the day he was born (July/04). Please keep your eyes peeled for his pic on the Sugar Free Ginger Ale bottles, and if you see him, buy him for me, k? Thanks.
Today I am rolling coins. Pennies, nickels and dimes, mostly. Not nearly as much fun as rolling toonies and loonies, but still a necessary fact of life for those of us who can't bear parting with change. Actually, I'm getting better at that. Those little cans and jars at McDonalds and the bank that collect for important causes (like the blind or deaf, animals being abandoned, kids with the fear of Barney) are becoming my dropping point for much of my small change. I don't want to sound petty, but it's better in their hands than in my pocket.
I also have different places in my car for different denominations of coins. The ashtray between the seats is for nickels and dimes (parking meter food), the ashtray up front is for quarters (payphone change - yeah, I'm the only guy in the world without a cell phone), and there is a hidden compartment for my loons and toons. Anybody else want pennies to disappear from our society? Don't be shy, raise your hand. Apparently it's already happened in Australia (lucky ducks... or platypuses or whatever), and maybe if we just continue to pay our taxes in pennies, the Canadian government will do the same thing.
What, you're not all paying your taxes in pennies? Why am I rolling these things then....

Dairn, I raise my hand... no more pennies... they are not needed. They Don't exist in New Zealand... they just don't. I don't want them. I tall drip coffee at sbux comes to $1.71, and I am constantly gving out those 4 pennies change.... erg!
hmmm... actually... I did see a Jones Soda at a shell station with a baby on it... but I didn't buy it. I would have....
