Imagine you’re minding your business riding and all of a sudden it starts raining…. money.
This wishful scenario happened to quite a few lucky dumbstruck motorists down in Texas when a Brinks money truck’s door flew open as it was traveling at highway speed down Interstate 20. The “money rain” created pure chaos and multiple fender benders on I-20 as motorists when into sheer pandemonium trying to “get to the money”.
Surprisingly, the truck rode for 7 miles leaving behind a trail of nothing but cold hard c-a-s-h.

According to the police statement, “Weatherford Police will investigate and potentially prosecute any individual that has picked up any of the loose money and not returned it to either Brinks or the Police Department.”

“Eating delicious things is a key to my longevity,” said Okawa she told The Japan Times.
My work space at home is a room of its own – it’s a second bedroom turned into a study, where I have a desk, a reading chair, and a couple of book shelves. This room houses the nonfiction shelves and lit mags. It’s nice to be able to get out of bed and be at work without leaving the house.
It’s also really hard. It’s hard to not do the dishes mid-morning, or watch some TV over lunch (which then turns into an afternoon of TV). It’s difficult to concentrate on anything for a particularly long period of time when the rest of my life creeps in, because the place I work is amongst my life.
