I would have thought so to. You can tell by the feel of the paper and You can hold the Bill up to the light and read the denomination in the embedded stripe, not to mention that each denomination's placement of the stripe is different and the color of the stripe under UV light is different for each denomination. There is a way to defeat those test pens since they only test for the proper paper. I have read where criminals take the paper and bleach it, then they print the new forged bill onto real paper.

Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 56 out there now with an expected high of 66 and 80% chance of precipitation.
Sounds like a good day for a nap!
Might get out but think I'll probably wait until tomorrow if I can. Still need to fold the towels and whites from yesterday's laundry. Finished off the corned beef dish yesterday for lunch.
Need to get the cats fed and yesterday's cat bowls washed. Dishwasher is running now.

Good Morning...with fingers crossed I type this...100% rain today and tomorrow...and its at least right now 100% pure sunshine!
Beach was great yesterday! So glad we went for a walk on the beach!
Today I have an appointment with the good folks that own Spinnaker... should take less than an hour, and will get me dinners for two at a restaurant (they will have a variety of places to chose from). So, time well spent. (I usually do not go to these things, but today I will!
One morning this week I'm going with Ted to the French pastry shop for early morning croissant and coffee morning! Diet will be blown! LOL!!!

Hi
I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 32 degrees with a breeze that caused a bit of a chill while walking.

Today we go into the 40s with a 100% chance of precipitation for today and tomorrow. Today mostly to the south of us...
Strangely enough I also had the last of Saturdays Corned Beef, Cabbage and a bit of Red Potato, all boiled of course. I also Toasted some Irish Soda Bread with butter left over from the previous St. Patrick's Day meal that I had Vacuum sealed and thrown into the freezer, Real Tasty, However I am happy that the the last of it is gone.
Have a Good Day and Stay Dry

Hi Valerie
I can handle rain if it is only for part of the day.
I was wondering what Spinnaker is ? It sounds like the adverts We get in the mail for Financial Planing for retirement that offer a free meal for two .
Ha, If that is the worst thing that happens to Your Diet when it could be so much worse. I'm guessing vegan Croissants made with something else than butter?
Have a Nice Day

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 57 foggy degrees out there with an expected high of 66 and 40% chance of precipitation.
Cats need to be fed and yesterday's cat bowls need to be washed. Not a whole lot more, and nothing critical. Other than figuring out lunch and dinner for me and J. Finally finished off all our leftovers so time to start fresh. Maybe breakfasty stuff for him and a burger for me. Or breakfasty burger for me. Or Italian burger for me. Or pizza burger for me...teriyaki burger for me?

Hey!
Rain never happened. Today made up for it. Beautiful morning, but about 2p it started...tornado warnings, then wind and dark, then HAIL like nobody's business! Rain and hail, and finally the sky's are clearing. Hoping they lift the tornado warnings between now and 7p.
My Brother and SIL went out for a morning walk...I'll try to upload a pix...one big, big alligator. We'd seen a smaller one yesterday, and also a small one too. Must be a good year for gators! Will have to read and watch Emmy later.

Hi
I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 37 degrees with a breeze that caused a bit of a chill while walking. A light snow was starting to fall as I went out the door and is forecast to become much heavier later on this Wednesday. The footing was OK in may walking shoes and the sidewalks and roads were only wet with snow starting to stick on lawns and cars, It was also starting to build up on a footbridge I looked at while walking.

Our 100% chance of Precipitation for Wednesday has come true, so far the paved surfaces are only wet, Later on the Snow is forecast to be a heavy wet snow. The Idiot Mayor of NYC was on the TV news yesterday telling people not to shovel since the heavy wet snow could be dangerous to Your health to shovel, I never knew that
I am thinking of pulling out a NS burger since that is what I have for a burger and putting 1000 island dressing on it as that comes out delicious. A Italian or Teriyaki burger sounds good too, I just do not have the fixings handy and do not want to waste a large portion of them for a sandwich
OTOH I do have the open bottle of Thousand Island or I could use the open bottle of Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce which would be tasty too. I have a tendency to want to use up open items before they spoil.
I snipped out the Video links in the interest of brevity.parityanimal wrote: »Let's have a long visit with Emmy this morning!

However why not have a nice visit.
I do like Rice Crispy Treats... I tend to use Miracle Whip Vs Mayo they both have tastes that go better with some foods.
I have some left over Holiday Ham that i defrosted and opened yesterday and a Largish Italian Meatball for later too. I May slice the meatball into a sandwich, I have not decided yet.
I may actually do this dish, I do have Cooked Frozen Rice left from Chinese Takeout I could use...

This skillet recipe makes use of any leftover ham. Combine it with frozen peas and rice to make an easy hearty dish. Top it with Parmesan cheese for a little tart kick.

It could have been worse, Look at what hit parts of Alabama

County Commission declares emergency in wake of hail storm
The commission’s declaration of emergency follows Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey’s emergency declaration for North Alabama counties affected by the storms, which dropped grapefruit-sized hail over portions of Cullman County and wrought extensive property damage.
Looking at the Picture You might want to steer clear of that gator
Have a Nice Day

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 38 out there now with an expected high of 50 and 0% chance of rain.
Need to clean yesterday's cat bowls, feed the cats, and probably get out to the store for a few things.

Man Broke Into Minnesota Home, Cooked Himself Some Chicken Nuggets, Cops Say
I guess he was hungry. I'd be upset but if that was ALL he took I might consider it to be a non-problem and have charitable thoughts about it. Though I would still endeavor to make sure it didn't happen again. I don't mind feeding someone but would rather be there to do it myself!http://thesmokinggun.com/documents/bizarre/zombie-apocalypse-rattled-man-013954
Cops: Crime Spree Prompted By Zombie Fears
Too much television and movies I guess and he forgot that there are no zombies!https://www.fastcompany.com/40546112/police-are-asking-google-to-provide-user-data-for-all-people-near-crime-scenes
Raleigh police are asking Google to provide user data for all people near crime scenes
I wonder How and Why Google would have that Data ?
Many people use Google Maps to share their location with family and, perhaps, friends. Also, many people just leave Location Services on all the time anyway as this makes it easier to find, say, a nearby restaurant, police station, gas station, or whatever, or so that certain apps can make recommendations for you as you use them.
As such, Google has, and retains, location information for many, many users. You can even use it to show a map of your movements over a given period of past time. I would perhaps discount the usefulness of this information for crime scenes in very busy areas with many people around all the time, and also the location tracking isn't perfect, or terribly accurate. It might show me as quite some distance away from where I actually am, though in the general vicinity, or it might show precisely where I am, depending on how many different receivers can see me and how well they can triangulate the location. And there are glitches too. I've looked on my map at times to see that it has me in Pittsburgh, PA when I'm actually in downtown Atlanta. I have no idea WHAT causes that sort of glitch, but it always clears up after a while. Maybe some kind of computer error causes it to associate someone else's phone, briefly, with my location, rather than my own phone.
So...even with Google's location information, the police could have far more data than they could sift through or, alternatively, could have some totally incorrect data showing someone near who was physically half the country away! In any case, I suppose such information would have to be considered very circumstantial and I doubt that it, by itself, would be admissible in court, as it would show where someone's phone presumably was, but that isn't proof that the owner of the phone was with the phone.
Still, in limited cases, I could see that it might provide some few clues, such as an indication that the suspect who claimed to be somewhere else might have been near the crime scene, or at least the phone might have been. From that they may be able to coerce a confession or know where to look for more evidence.http://www.fox5ny.com/news/doorbell-dna-leads-deputies-to-accused-burglar

That depends on the situation. I rather like the U-Scan checkouts if I have a fairly limited number of items, and using a touchscreen to order my food generally would ensure that any mistakes in the order are purely mine, and not the fault of the wait staff writing it down incorrectly or remembering it wrong.
Of course if the food is still made and delivered by humans, as it generally is, then they could still get it wrong but at least there is a computer record of exactly what I ordered.
Likewise if I order something for pickup at the store. Again, I used a gadget to order but at some point a human is in there checking it, or pulling the item (or the wrong item) and setting it near the pickup area. And the gadgets may think an item is in stock when it actually isn't, as humans get the inventory wrong sometimes.0 -
