Poor Lincoln, Abe

Pennies never add up. The person who started that phrase was either born during the Dust Bowl or was/is an absolute coot.*

Do you know how much 100 pennies weighs? I do not. But it’s surely more than I can lift and certainly more than I can hold in one hand. That’s one dollar. One dollar. I can buy nothing of interest for a dollar.

While I’m on the subject of pennies, what exactly happened during the Dust Bowl?

*I looked up moron in the thesaurus and found that gem of a word.
