I'm constantly watching the exchange market, and this morning the USD
it hit, what I believe is, an all-time level of shittiness compared to
the EUR... $1.328! It's killing me, as the majority of my funds are
still in US accounts rather than my Dutch account. And getting to
$1.974 to the Pound is going to doubly kill me, as I have a flight to
London in 2 hours. Grr!
