Thoughts and Notions

I couldn’t believe it. I was reading the news and it said something about the Canadian dollar being equal with the U.S. dollar. I checked it with my Firefox extension called Exch. (It’s installed from the Exch page at Firefox Add-ons and uses data from Yahoo! Finance). Sure enough, $1 USD == $1 CAD. It hasn’t been this way since 1976 (I have heard stories from Canadians that have verified the equality of old).
