Gary Peregrin Peregrin - You might be interested in this. I posted it in a thread back in August 2014.

Up through the 1960s, if you were on board a ship, the U.S. Navy paid off in $2 bills. So come payday, we'd line up at the disbursing office and were paid with $2 bills. It was possible because we didn't make much money in those days. I was a Seaman (E-3) in 1965 aboard the USS Henley (DD 762) and my pay was roughly $90.00 per month. Anyway, after taxes, I got about $42.00 every two weeks so every payday I got 21 $2 bills. The Navy did this for the U.S. Treasury in an attempt at keeping the $2 bill in circulation. Didn't work in the long run but you could tell when it was a Navy payday as all of a sudden $2 bills would start showing up around town.

That's a really interesting tidbit, Ed. I never heard that before. I think you guys were underpaid!

This explains the 2 dollar bills my dad had. Im sure some were lingering around circulating the navy when he was in in 1978
 
Thanks to all for the positive input on the hawk. Actually, I can't decide either, and there may have been one of each. This one was farther away,
but I think he was a Cooper's while the closeups were of a Goshawk. The Cooper's saw something and went after it.

A cold and rainy day here in the City by the Bay 🌧️🥶. Took Louie out to do his business and he quickly peed and ran back inside. Just a little light rain but you’d think that it was a monsoon to Lou. Anyway keeping me company with a nod to Micarta Monday these two beauties. Have a great week folks! 😀
