The leftover Euro I have from my Amsterdam trip has increased in dollar value by 4% since August. Over the past year, the Euro to Dollar exchange rate has increased 10.1%. Pretty nice when you’re just sitting on currency. Sucks when you want to go back.
In other news, I found out the State mailed my CHL to me in July while I was in Amsterdam. Apparently the USPS decided to clean out my mailbox for me without letting me pick up my mail, so my license got discarded. I applied for a lost license replacement, get this: it takes 24-48 hours for the request (filed online) to “show up in the system” and then around 45 days for my replacement to show up. Clearly we’re not quite in the speedy information age yet.
