the dollar goes kaput

[merchimerch]

Wow! When I was living in the U.K. in 2001, the dollar was worth about 1.5 British Pounds, and no one was paying much attention to the Euro because it was so friggen cheap.

Today, a mere 7 years later, the dollar just hit 2 pounds, and is now worth 1.5 Euros.

I wonder, will this inspire us to start making our own stuff again?

Probably not, since we import from even softer money countries. A girl can dream though.

My pocket cries every time I go to buy food.

that happened to me while I was in the U.K. as well. Food is just more expensive there, and healthful food even more so (in my experience).

It is worth it though, your body needs good quality fuel.
