The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The wonderful thing was I bought a Coke at a little store, paid with a $5 American bill and received more than $5 Canadian in change.

Reminds me of what happened with us when we landed in Sydney, Australia after an umpteen hour flight that left Los Angeles at 1:00 AM. (It was 21 hour flights starting from Chicago.)

In the terminal my wife badly needed a Coke, I went over the a soda machine but it only took AUD bills, no credit cards. The tour guide who met our group came over and said, "I'll buy it for you, no problem, it's not that much."
I figured it out later, it was about $3 USD. For a 12 oz can of coke.
