Inventory of Items Presently in my Pockets

1. Two dollars, cash. In case I wanted to buy ice cream tonight at the snackbar. "One" scoop costs $1.50.

2. (folded) Print-out copy of an e-mail exchange between myself and a certain market in Chelan, WA, willing to ship me beer. Exchange includes list of imports and micros carried by said market.

3. My Visa card. Yeah, I made an order today. What?

4. A big bag of tea, including three (now two) pockets of Bigelow Vanilla Caramel, abandoned by some loser and adopted by me.

5. A slip of paper good for free ice cream, which I acquired by volunteering a morning earlier this week to some mavericks who needed a hand moving a bunch of crap. (And yeah, that's a pretty good description of what mavericks do.) For those slow at the math -- that's two hours of labor, traded for a slip of paper good for $1.50. And I'm happy about this.

6. (folded) Print-out advertisement for a job as teacher's aide in the Village's school. A parent handed it off to me hoping I would apply. I've agreed to inquire. This means talking to the same program director I earlier asked "hypothetically" just how much beer I could fit in a single shipment before the boat charged me extra for freight. Awesome.
