Cash On The Decline
I'm old, I prefer cash and I carry cash with me at all times. I have cash tucked into unusual places in my purse, the house, the car, my husband. I have cash stashed in the safe deposit box. In 1980, my Mom gave me a brand new crisp $20 bill. I placed it inside my favorite paperback. Years later, I wondered why I ever thought that paperback was any good so decided to donate it to Goodwill. Luckily, I flipped through the yellowed pages first and found that $20 bill. I put that bill into my new favorite paperback. When my beloved dog (see avatar 
) was still alive, I used to attach a small bag of change to his collar before going on walks. No juvenile delinquent was brave enough or stupid enough to grab that money from my dog!
I love cash. I don't know why anyone wouldn't love it.
What I don't like is standing behind some clown at a convenience store struggling with his stupid debit card trying to buy that $2.00 bag of Doritos. I hope eating all that junk food will kill him and take him out of the gene pool.
I love cash. I particularly love $20s and $100s. $50s don't do anything for me though.
The New York Times is wrong (again). Cash will always have a place in the economy. All those drug cartels can't be all wrong.

From The New York Times:
WASHINGTON — The number of dollar bills rolling off the great government presses here and in Fort Worth fell to a modern low in the last fiscal year. Production of $5 bills also dropped to the lowest level in 30 years. And for the first time in that period, the Treasury Department did not print any $10 bills.

I also like to keep a $50 hidden in my wallet and have used it on more than one occasion.
The biggest reason I like cash is that I find using cash is the best way to teach my children how to be fiscally responsible. Hoarding cash made from lemonade sales & mowing yards and having something to physically put into a piggy bank. Counting out the piggy bank every once in awhile to see how much they have and then adding some interest from "bank of dad" to emphasize the value of saving. Heading to Toys-R-Us for a splurge every once in a while.
All of these, IMHO, are priceless forms of education for the future that using cash enables and the use of plastic just cannot replicate.

Any captain who doesn't use cash on layovers for hotel on-demand porn or hookers should be immediately demoted to FO!
Don't y'all know that you can't stick your debit card into the thongs of a pole dancer or lap dancer? Geez.
