There’s a section of the local paper called community snapshots, where the pictures featured depict usually two individuals, one handing the other a check. The people pictured represent their respective organizations, sometimes non-profits, sometimes banks, etc. The money exchanging hands, with the check posing for the photo between the grip of the two individuals, is a donation on behalf of one organization to another. Before reading the caption, you can often tell the donor and recipient from one another by their expressions, or lack thereof. Last week I happened to glance at a photo and the recipient was all smiles, while the donor was stone cold.

I’ve not posted a loop in awhile, so: how expensive is it to throw away money?
