Have you heard of or seen this project? I have a dollar bill in my wallet right now that has this stamp on it. If you log in to the Where's George? website, you can see where George has been! I've run across two of these dollar bills in the last six months. The idea is to take the bill, add the serial number to the website, put it back in your wallet, use it and then sit back and see where George goes!
In today's economy I wonder if George will do much traveling? My George started out just 8.3 miles from here; south of town. When the next game person decides to log in with George, I will receive and e-mail detailing his travels.
Kind of fun!

On a completely different note: I know an older person who lives close to me who has purchased this Exerciser 2000 Elite:
Passive Exercise? Did you notice that nothing is checked off? I have tried to offer my treadmill as a safe way to get some exercise while the weather is cold. Independence can be a stubborn trait!
Maybe this machine works. I found the ad in my Reader's Digest magazine. I am re-thinking my opinion of that read. Does this not prey people's better judgement? I know the situation could be worse; at least something "usable" was received for the money spent. Whether it works or not might not be for me to judge. Doing some thing IS better than doing nothing. I just don't want people I care about to be taken advantage of because they are older. I mean, if this was in Reader's Digest it must be good, right?
NOT!

I've known of the book-tracking effort, but not the dollar-tracking one. That's cool!
