A money lesson from the ‘other’ Covington

A grocery store clerk handed me a two-dollar bill the other day with my other change. My immediate thought was that the bill was bogus. After all, you so rarely see one that’s it easy to forget it is legal tender. But it’s got Thomas Jefferson’s face on it. However, if you ever receive a three or four-dollar bill – with the faces of Millard Fillmore and Zachary Taylor on them – be very suspicious.

While out for a jog the other day (a jog that turned into a sprint when a German shepherd came after me), I noticed a “For Lease” sign sitting in the empty window of a failed restaurant.
