Xenia to Cinci in 5 hours

Brian, Greg and I took the trek and biked the 53 miles from my house to the very end of the Bike Trail. We had a wonderful time. It very wooded and scenic and most important - downhill. I hope to do this again in the fall.

Awana Bucks


Tonight at Awana we ran out of stuff to sell at the Awana share store. The Sparks bought nearly all the items and left nothing for the T&T group. The economist in me, knew exactly what happened. The total price of all the items for sale was less than number of Awana bucks awarded - Too many Awana bucks in the system. We award Awana bucks for nearly everything possible. I suspect that next time we will see a bit of price inflation or more items for sale. Reminds me a bit of Zimbabwe money or gas prices.

Zimbabwe Bucks


One of the guys from work found a Ten Thousand Dollar Zimbabwe bill that a student had left in a dorm room. About a year ago it was worth about 1 US dollar. As of Thursday it would take 256 of them to equal one US cent. The Zimbabwe Central Bank has not update the official exchange yet today, but the black market rates are approaching 380 Million to one US dollar. Today also is the first day of the 50 Billion Zimbabwe bill. This is worth about 200 US dollars, but I expect it to be worth about a buck in a few months.
