Note that as of Mar 17, 2009 I discovered the 'fake $5' is actually just an older note.
So last night K realized he'd been passed a fake $10 bill from a dollar store he had been in last week. It's also missing the reflective strip. Then I almost got passed a fake $5 at a Tim Horton's coffee shop in the evening. I feel like taking these bills to the local newspaper to ask them to raise public awareness.
While I'm in paranoia mode, M told me that in Italy, you wear your purse and camera straps inside your jacket as thieves drive by in motorcycles and slash the straps for a quick getaway. No one's been killed, but sometimes the slasher can cut your arm in the rush.
Well, the kids are getting excited about our upcoming Jamaica vacation and we were at the mall in the last hour getting a few clothes and things. We also got L a gorgeous spring leather jacket earlier today at the Danier Leather sale, thanks to a helpful, experienced salesgirl. She's over the moon.

Gosh! Bummer about the fake $10. It almost makes you want to give up cash, doesn't it? Actually we use our debit card for most things these days. But there are some places where you need cash.
I have heard that about motorcycle thieves. We do wear our money belts, but I usually wear my camera strap out. It's theft proof, meaning it can't be slashed. But I hate to think how much it would hurt if someone grabbed it and tried to cut it off.
Japra, maybe you're right, it may be more dangerous having that 'theft proof' strap. I'm good at quickly checking those counterfeit bills now, but if they get a better one...
