Extra Credit Questions

[Joe Di Cola]

Joe; I’m afraid, in case you got up with the chickens today – this question pobably won’t challenge you a lot:

In late July 1859 Lincoln spent 15 cents on – what?

Eva,

It is 5:23 a.m. EDT-USA and, oddly, I am up already. The answer is 6 chickens, and he sent his son, Bob, to make the purchase on July 29. My daughter closed on her house this week--a house built in the 1950s, and I have been busy doing some work over there before the move-in occurs today and Sunday. So, insomnia seems to be part of the game.

All the best,,

Joe

I know .90 was spent on 6 chickens, so each individual chicken would be $.15.

So I will guess a chicken?

Gee, Roger, are you up, too, at this hour?!!
