Wait, a box of Lucky Charms is $9 now?

One donut place is open Monday-Sunday from 7am to 10pm.

Another donut place is open Tuesday-Saturday from 5am to 12pm.

I don’t drink.

So this is my seventh soda water with lime at this two-day event.

One story: I spent two hours on the phone with Bank of America in order to close my account; they refused to refund the $10 monthly 'low balance' fees that had been accruing for four months despite no written notice.

Another story: I spent 5 minutes on the phone with Capital…

$5.13 in Antigua

The average electric bill in the US is $149/month.

I don’t think $5 per day is too bad for the household witchcraft that is electricity.
