where'$ george?
just received my first Where's George? ® 2.2 "track this bill" five dollar bill from my local supermarket.
according to the website, george is currently tracking
Bills131,134,166 bills Ttalingtotalling $718,513,134
i'm the second entry for this bill. it was first entered at the wiesbaden us army airfield in germany from where it traveled 4,780 miles in 82 days. if i see a gogo dancer dressed in fatigues tonight at the gay pride parade, i'll know just what to do with the fiver.

I had entered bills in the past, but have not for a while. Maybe I'll start again.

here's pic of the "where's george" bill. drawing my attention to it is the variety of bill designs now in circulation. maybe this was a new design? i notice the designs changed as value of the dollar lost stability. probably just a coincidence. anyway, i wasn't sure what i was looking at until i put on my reading glasses.
