Plat du jour--guest submission

Since the plate says "subway series" I doubt it was gotten in response to the Yankees recent World Series win. Found by Joanne.

The new penny

I got a surprise when I looked at the penny included in the sales mailing from Starcrest of California. I hadn't heard they were redesigning the back of the one cent piece, as it's called officially. It turns out there are four new versions of the coin's "reverse."

Of course, if they somehow got rid of the sales tax we could easily get rid of pennies altogether.
