Update on my lunch from McDonald’s: Because I upgraded to the large combo meal, I got four Monopoly game pieces. I was hoping for a $1,000,000 instant winner, but instead I got North Carolina Avenue, Indiana Avenue, States Avenue, and Pennsylvania Railroad. Wonder if any of those are the “scarce” pieces.
I have two more posts already typed up. When I feel like I need a minute or two’s break this afternoon, I’ll log in and post them. Check back.
