Greetings from Fairbanks! This is the last you shall
hear from me, Wayne. Arrived here 2 days ago. It
was very difficult to catch rides in the Yukon
Territory. But I finally got here.
Please return all mail I receive to the sender. It
might be a very long time before I return South. If
this adventure proves fatal and you don't ever hear
from me again I want you to know you're a great
man. I now walk into the wild. Alex."

Trying to explain fiat and USD vs other currencies to a friend. 100 people jump out of a plane with different size parachutes. All well and good to manage to hit the ground without breaking something, no one is still flying though, are they?
