Who is in charge of pricing things? Yesterday I bought two seperate items (aluminum foil and a tastey vanila shake from Burger King) that cost exactly $2.06. Why the six cents? Both times I had conveniently emptied my pocket of change, meaning I some how lost six dollars from my wallet and not four. In contrast to annoying prices, somethings just have high prices, which in turn is annoying. I also bought some precooked BBQ ribs yesterday for dinner and they cost me an arm and a leg. That is better, though, than what they cost the pig--which would be half a back. But they were extremely delicious. Alice and I had a picnic.... man she eats a lot--look! (just kidding!) China keeps sneaking up on me. I am currently attempting to obtain proof of insurance and schedule an exam with Language Testing International (which is intent on me leaving messages). The MEIV trip leaves soon. I am excited for you guys! ps--i would also like to note that those are bottles of rootbeer:)
