I guess the true test isn’t whether you get static now but whether you get static when it matters.

I’ll never forget when my old roommate told me in the mid 1990’s he was moving back to the Dominican. I came home one day the next week and he was sitting at the kitchen table with stacks of American hundreds, National Geographic magazines, brown wrapping paper and packing tape. Stuffing cash between magazine pages. He mailed almost all of his money to himself and picked it up when he got back to the D.R.
