Shiny, new...

It's definitely autumn in Chicago now (with snow flurries shocking us yesterday), so I decided to don a few layers of fall-colored clothes and run some errands. I ran into a store-keeper acquaintance of mine and he noticed my metallic brown jacket.
"I love that color on you! You look like a penny!" he said as he headed into the stockroom.
And yes, with the economy as bad as it is, I took that as a compliment!
