Travel Tune: July 8, 2019

A New Old Song I have lots of music from all around the world, but found this song last night browsing some 1950’s songs. I love that era, and the tune is really nice. At first I thought it was Harry Belafonte, but it’s actually Louis Prima, a guy that I didn’t know about before

Cashing Out 1 Million Chase Ultimate Rewards

Straight Cash Homey I just cashed out 1 million Ultimate Rewards (UR) into $10,000 in cash.
