Where's Abraham?

...Lincoln, that is. Some of you may be familiar with the Currency Tracking Project (a.k.a. "Where's George?"), which poses the question, "Do you ever wonder where that paper money in your pocket has been, or where it will go next?"

Well, I received a $5 bill as change at Cafe Lombard this morning, and was delighted to read "This bill is registered with www.WheresGeorge.com" next to Abe Lincoln's stoic face. This is the third Project bill that I've encountered; the other two were Georgies. After I entered the serial number on the site and described where I got it, I learned that it was in North Richland Hills, TX -- 1457 miles away -- just yesterday! The person who logged it then said, "This bill was used to make change at my bar in DFW Airport in Dallas, TX." Wild, huh?

Let's see where it goes from here...

oh, you are a trickster with the misleading intro ;). Why didn't you tell them about our bill from the strip club? :)
