I guess I will start here

Cannot begin to cover the entire insane weekend today...will get some in, will likely take until Wednesday.

So where to start, then? Well, how about with the fact that I was given this five dollar bill in my change at the McDonald's drive-thru this lunchtime? I scanned it, which is probably a felony, and I can expect Tom Ridge to swoop down on me momentarily, but it shows to go you the lengths I will go to for you, gentle reader.
