In California

In preparation for our renewal of our Employment Practices & Fiduciary Liability insurance policy, we were asked to fill out a renewal application, which is normal procedure. In the past, question #6 was always:
Number of employees:
Total_____Total U.S.____ Full Time___
Part Time______
This year the question reads:
Number of Employees:
Total_____Total U.S.______Full Time___
Part Time_______ In California_____
Two observations:
1. Our insurance company is more concerned about having employees in California than they are about having employees in other countries.
2. They don't consider California to be part of the U.S. (I'm kinda on the fence on this one)
By the way, my answer to the In California question was , "No. Thank God."

I guess you're right about the quarters...I wonder what they're selling for on e-bay these days?

Guess your governor's remarks were a little premature, huh? x;-)
Benson made the remarks after the Old Man fell. Here's the complete paragraph...
"From its mountainous perch, the Old Man has stood for centuries as a testament to the steadfastness of New Hampshire's Yankee character and the resolve of its people. This rugged yet beautiful monument fit the character of the pioneers who founded this state, the immigrants who built it, and the spirit of those who live here today. It was the ultimate symbol of those who would "Live Free or Die." And while that symbol may have fallen, that spirit still remains."
-- Governor Craig Benson

Try this link and you can see the before and after photos...I took many a friend and family member to the viewing spot to see it. It was impressive. The time we made the 1-hour drive to see what the spot looked like after it fell, there were actually people standing around crying that it wasn't there anymore.

I'm aghast!
Yeah...ok, Don.
>spokesmountain? And doesn't that make your
>commemorative quarter a collector's item?
Speaking of "commemorative quarters" I received the following from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis: be sure and check your Wisconsin quarters.
"A Statement from the United States Mint - February 8, 2005: We are aware of the extra leaf-like markings on the reverse of some Wisconsin state quarters that bear the "D" mark. The United States Mint is looking into the matter to determine possible causes in the manufacturing process. It is unknown how many of these specific quarters may have been produced. We are not aware of any past instances in the 50 State Quarters program similar to this. Quality control is a high priority for the United States Mint and will remain so. Therefore,we are reviewing retained Wisconsin quarter samples, examining our process assurance inspections, and reviewing our manufacturing porcesses. In total 453,200,000 Wisconsin quarters were minted for up to a 10-week period. About half of those were minted at the United States Mint at Denver, the other half at the United States Mint at Philadephia. Each state quarter is not minted beyond the specific 10-week period. For further infomation, please contact the Office of Public Affairs, U.S. Mint."
Good luck,

Unfortunately, those quarters appear to have been distributed in the Southwest, so we don't have any of them up here.
What could make it more valuable than having a stone-faced profile on both sides?

It's understandable, though. Out here in the West, we have MOUNTAINS! Anyplace I've ever been back east, they have "mountains" that we would consider hills.
And I still didn't see any old man in the pictures.
And what do you mean by afternoon? It's only 11:20 here.
I've never actually been to CA, Gillian, but my family and I will be visiting a large chunk of it in May. Maybe I'll get to see some MOUNTAINS then, take pictures and educate the rest of the Yankees on what a real one looks like.
Where abouts is your office? We'll be spending time in between San Diego and San Francisco. Looks like a big stretch on the map but my husband doesn't believe in relaxing on vacation.
Oh yeah...and it's 2:55 here in the p.m. I'll be going home for the day in about 2 hours. :DD

We'll fly into San Diego and may stay over night and see the zoo or the old San Diego in the morning...but we'll be in Los Angeles (Montebello) for at least the weekend. My husband and one daughter also want to go to Las Vegas but I'd rather make that a separate trip.
We'll also be going to Bakersfield and then to Hayward (near San Francisco).
I'll need to take a separate vacation after we get back...
Cheryl C.
God I hope we won't be going way up to the Sierra's this trip...I'd like to actually get out and walk around some; not spend the whole week in a rental car! But I'll post a photo to prove we went West.

All we get are quarters from Canada and you know what they're worth.
