5. I was in Europe at the dollar's High.
I'd take EU$100 out and it would only take $88 out of my checking account. That was sweet.

7. The yen is dropping, too
I can't figure out why.

This is good news when I'm over there, as I was the last week in October, but bad news from now on, since I work mostly for Japanese clients and get paid in yen. :-(
