# Never CAN America change its currency
Haha... but try getting Americans, even if Russian had won the Cold War, to accept change. We, as a nation, are infuriated at the fact that we have to pay $1.25 USD for a gallon of gaoline.
Switching the horrible counting system we live by would totally have thrown us off balance. We enjoy using completely mind boggingly difficult systems of measurement. Or rather, we are too used to them.
Oh well. Hail Russia.

# Hoorah for Oxnard
I live in the Nard of the Ox (Oxnard) in Southern California. Blessed be our low petrol prices.

Edit: Nard of the Ox... Oxnard. It's a joke. I live in the city of Oxnard. Grand city. 20th largest (or so) in California. The Terminator is our governor.

# Nard of the Ox, I've never heard of that.
Though I've never been to Cali, either.

Well, I'm lucky that I drive a tiny little car.
