How Much Money Do You Carry Around?
The other week, watching CNN’s “The Situation Room” program, Jack Cafferty reported that Barack Obama had been campaigning somewhere – Florida, I think – and bought some ice cream for luck in his Presidential race (an apparent local tradition). He also purchased the ice cream for dozens of members of his staff and several members of the press (not unusual). When it came time to pay, Obama admitted he didn’t have his wallet, and a staff member paid the tab with the Senator giving him an IOU. I’m sure he’s good for it 
Not a big story, but something fun to report on.
Mr. Cafferty poked a bit of fun at the story (he’s kind-of a curmudgeon), and while conversing with Wolf Blitzer – that pimp – he remarked something like:
“Geez, the guy’s running for President. He doesn’t carry any money around? Adults gotta carry some money around.” (basically)
He ask Wolf, “How much money you got on ya?”
Wolf quickly answered, “A few hundred.”
I squawked I laughed so hard!
Jack replied something like, “Yeah. I’ve got about $100 or so.”
All I could think of was that Wolf Blitzer would be reporting on his own mugging the next day!
So I blog… How much money ya got on ya? Right now, I’ve got 8 bucks, but I get pizzzzzzzzzz-aaaaaaid to mor row.
Bow-chicka-wow-wow.

Right know I have a ten dollar bill in my pocket, and some chump change. If I carry any bills in my pocket it is usally a 10 0r a 20. I don’t like breaking them, so usually they are there at the end of the week. Most of the time though, it is a 5 dollar bill and I try to make it last all week. Then I might treat myself to a cheap lunch.

It’s funny how times change! I normally don’t carry cash on me. I just use my debit card. When I was a young girl and mom said she didn’t have money I said “but you have checks.” Nowadays, when I tell my son that I don’t have money, he says, “but you have a credit card.”
