moof's prattling

I tried withdrawing my usual 50000yen from the ATM today; it kept on saying "card invalid". Finally, it dawned on me that I should try a smaller amount - and lo and behold, my invalid card worked. Guess the bank is serious about the $500/day limit.

Thanks to the dollar going down the poohole in the past three weeks, I've had an effective 10% pay cut.
