Dollars from heaven?
A truly weird story in this morning's Spokane news. Traffic along Altamont, a fairly important business arterial in the eastern part of town, was totally tangled by piles of flying money.
The money was popping out of a vent on top of a travel trailer, but the driver didn't even know the money was there, let alone its airborne status. He was towing the travel trailer to a garage for his boss.
Apparently the boss had buried $14,000.00 some time in the past, then dug it up later and found it hadn't been wrapped properly. So he put the money in the vent of his travel trailer to let it dry out. He then forgot entirely about the money.
Obviously more here than meets the eye .... if you're burying money, its salient attribute is most likely 'hot' rather than 'wet' .... but even so, wouldn't it be nice to have so much money that you could casually put $14K in a trailer, then forget you owned it? ¶ 8:46 AM
