A day without me

Today, 202 years ago Edgar Poe was born. He's had massive influence in literature and in popular culture to the point of having one of his poems read by Lisa Simpson and being the main character in one of Batman's Elseworlds comic books: Batman Nevermore, which by the way, is very well written. It contains tons of Poe references and makes Edgar a worthy sidekick to Batman. A good reading for a happy birthday.

The corn dog is a hotdog coated in batter and deep fried in oil, although some are baked. Almost all corn dogs are served on wooden sticks, though some early versions were stickless.

The other day I was really enjoying one and sadly I dropped half of it on myself.

About a couple of years ago, the MX City government started to sell rechargeable subway cards for people to avoid buying tickets. Each ticket cost 2 MXN and is worth for a travel, so every time you slide your card, 2 MXN are taken off your credit.

10 cent coins are a rather common MX currency, but each coin alone isn't good for much, so while trying to put my room in order, I found a lot of 10 and 20 cent coins, after counting them I got the fabulous amount of 20 MXN, since loose change is rather useless, I decided to give them to the subway people, who actually give you 10 cent coins as change given the chance!

Sadly, they didn't took my loose change and I had to change it at a bank while paying my credit card, but I ended up giving 20 MXN to my subway card, anyway
