When I subscribed (along time ago) I went to a commercial bank 
and asked for a bank-draft in pounds sterling.  It cost about as much
as the draft was for; I ended up paying about twice what the KBC
actually got for my subscription.  With the conversion rate of US dollars
to pounds the check was for around $30, and it was another $30 for the
banks processing fee.  Too bad the KBC couldn't accept VISA and we
could just let them convert the fees for us without the "service charge".

In other news, one of our coolest radio stations (WCLZ) has been playing
Tori's "Little Drummer Boy" in heavy rotation.  I've heard it 3 or 4 times
in as many days.  Saturday night they announced they'd be playing TRS
cover-to-cover Sunday night, but I forgot to try and listen.
