In 2008 when Travelers Checks were in vogue I went to my local bank to buy some.The VP of the branch who knew me walked over to greet me.She asked where I was traveling to and I said Alaska.Her reply “someday I want to go to that country”.
I never heard of havarati cheese.When I was in my teens I worked in a diner type restaurant making sandwiches.The only cheese they offered was Swiss and Muenster.
I got a $2.00 bill in change in a store in St. Kitts in 2019.
I attempted to use it to buy groceries in NY later that year.The Cashier rang a bell and the store Manager approached .She said that I was trying to use a fake bill because there is no such thing as a $2.00:bill.

I became quite ill necesssitating a visit to the infirmary.The doctor had a dark bottle of some kind of liquid that was not labeled.He told me to take a teaspoon every three hours and I would be fine .Normally I do not take anything without knowing what it was but I was so sick that I took it.After 2 doses I was fine.
