IV~ Where are you getting all these Euros? From your Eros rental?
Yes.
I bought my share as a hedge. A hedge against inflation on the island and as a hedge against a weakening dollar. I have to admit that I made the purchase as a cold, calculated, unemotional investment after running a LOT of numbers - and soliciting the advice of brilliant men whose names I closely guard. Since that time, I have actually fallen in love with Eden Rock, which does not hurt my feelings.

<<<Is this a trick question?>>>
nah, just a response to Andy's provincialism and Philly-centric world view. You got imported stuff to buy, even in the boonies.

And IV's response was:
" As to buying imports, we are not into consumerism in a big way. So that isn't much of a player for us."
Maybe you should read the response before you stick your New York nose in.

In history books and the vanishing mists of fading memories of sentimental men...
It predates the Civil War as settlement of a border dispute between Penn, Delaware, Maryland and present-day West Virginia (then part of Virginia).

You are so right...most people, unable to Google, believe it is the border of MD and VA. By the way, my last full size Chevy Pick Up was built in Canada. Now, back to the Euro/dollar wars!
