Can you imagine the U.S. Mint being okay with doing an amalgamated portrait of three different white male U.S. Presidents?

They did it with three different native guys for the Buffalo Nickel.

The profile on the buffalo nickel, which was printed between 1913 and 1938, was an amalgamation of three different, important Native American men.

Well, at least they didn't try to replace the Indian with a white guy like they replaced a white guy with a black guy and another with a Hispanic. http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/2002/01/18/2002-01-18_fdny_cancels_9_11_statue_com.html

Besides, what are Indians doing on US currency anyhow? If we want to commemorate the Indians, why not make beads or buttons a measure of currency. . . . I joke, I tease.

As far as the welfare thing, good luck. Hopefully you'll receive the assistance you need to get your head above water.

I did! Not enough, but enough to maybe catch up. I wish she'd have pointed me someplace for help with my old medical bills, tho.

We're almost caught up with rent. We'll be there by the end of next month. And then we'll eventually be ahead by a week. And then a month. And then three years.

And then we either move or buy a house.

And we get the cats looked at and sideview mirrors put on his truck. You know, after we get the wipers working.
