The Real Roger and Roy

Heard some word about counterfeit bills being passed around B/CS. Turns out the perps (that's police talk) are using REAL bills to make the fakes. They take $5 dollar bills and bleach the corners and then photo copy a 50 in it's place. Remember, kids,Lincoln on the 5, Grant on the 50 (also Franklin on the $100-just in case).
The Roger and Roy Morning Show is pretty much unaffected by this scam as we live below the poverty line and seldom have access to those denominations. I think counterfeit money should only be used to pay for fake brand names and your change should be given in Monopoly money.

The weather continues to improve in the Brazos Valley after a scorching, sizzling summer. Not that we're assured of being out of 100 degree days entirely for the year, but at least for the last week cooler heads (and other body parts) have prevailed. We haven't even had a Heat Index lately! I'm hoping to get back to sleeping on my back porch again soon. I got a screened back porch with a hammock that i love sleeping in on those handful of nights that the atmosphere is temperate enough to be comfortable. Plus I spent the summer customizing it.

The Summer of Death has claimed another two personalities: Mary Travers of Peter, Paul and Mary fame and Henry Gibson

Mary had been battling leukemia the the last few years. She was 72.
Henry was a still-active actor who I knew best from Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, but also had roles as Judge Clark Brown on Boston Legal, Father O'Neil in "Wedding Crashers" and Wilbur the pig in the 1973 version of Charlotte's Web. He died after a brief bout with cancer. He would have turned 74 next week.

For you mortal accountants,
Here is a list of fatalities, these are not all, but basically the most universally recognizable.
