Sun is out. For now.
Yay! I get to clean the pool. It is something I enjoy. It's so zen.

I'm so grateful to have spent time working with my grandpa at his produce stand, when I was a kid. He made sure I could handle a till without technology. Sometimes, we would use calculators to sum up large orders...but we never used them to make change.
I wasted a half hour once trying to teach a teenager to do this. How you make change without a calculated, by counting back up to the dollar amount given. They looked at me like a deer in headlights. They never grasped what I was trying to teach. I was doing this at a very young age and I need to start teaching it to Naomi.
My sister is 65, and still can't do it. Rather than admit that, when she's shopping she just pays with more money than they ask for, and then trusts that they give her the correct change. She would have no idea whether they did, or not....
My first restaurant job was at a Chinese restaurant. The "old man" (owners dad) worked NEXT to the register. He would calculate the checks faster than than the girl on the register using an abacas and made sure the totals were correct.

I'm terrible at math. I might need a calculator to sum things up, or use paper/pencil....but I can solidly make change. It's about the only math skill I have.

On a funny note...my grandpa use to really embarrass me when I made mistakes counting money. He was a funny man. I was with him every day, when I was a kid.

Behind his produce stand, there was an erotic massage parlor. My mom said I wasn't allowed to look over there. I remember when it was closed down.

Rafe report:
Nothing I know of tonight, so we'll likely work on the big purge
Saturday morning jam cancelled this week, so likely more purge
Sunday the juggling club has a public appearance, as opposed to a performance, at a local farm market. We'll do our usual stuff, and teach folks that want to learn how to juggle. I need to remember that I should be there at 11, rather than 1....

That reminds me that I didn't take any pictures of the bedrooms, or the rest of the house, or even outside. I'll try to remember to get some over the weekend....including the guest room!
I think I like that dog.
