Been busy working on some exciting new stuff. I can't give away the details but I am just so pumped that I have to do SOMETHING to release my energy. I hereby decree that today everyone should treat themselves to a small ice-cream cone. Which reminds me of when I was in Madrid, Spain. While I was there they still used their old currency system of Pesetas. 60 pesetas was about 30 cents, more or less. Anyway, before they changed to Euros you used to be able to get an ice-cream cone at McDonald's for 60 pesetas. Then they got "unionized" (entered the European Union) and suddenly ice-cream cones were 60 euro-cents (50-80 cents US) - DOUBLE THE COST. As a foreigner I wasn't effected by it much, but it was interesting to see the Spanish suddenly have less money but not know why - especially the elderly. I mean 60 pesetas and 60 cents SOUNDS the same. Anyway, random memory.
