anywhere around the bay area, they'll ask if you want them to pay the toll for you. if you say yes they'll pay 4 bucks to 6 buck as day plus the toll. that could easily cost you like 50 bucks for going through the bridge one time. probably not the best way to do it. but the golden gate bridge has a lot of ways you can pay on your own. first you can opt in with these guys and before you drive across the bridge, you call them up or go online. you give them your credit card number and then you tell them, okay, i'm going to be here for a week and these are -- i think we're going to go across four times. so you give them your credit card number and the money and they -- it's sitting there and they may or may not take it, depending how many times you go across the bridge. you can also do itñi two days afterward on the golden gate bridge. all the other bridges you have to stop and pay. >> that's probably the better way. you don't know how many times

you're going. >> wait till your trip is over. julio g. asks via facebook is it legal banks tell you they won't accept cash? who doesn't want to take my cash, michael? >> absolutely. it's completely legal. i thank you very much for asking me this question. this is knowledge that i have that's also useless. that is banks don't have to take your money. why? because most banking laws were set unwhen they wanted your money. there are no rules or money or regulations that say they have to deal in cash. >> you want my cash, though, right? >> absolutely. i always want cash. speaking of money it's asked is there a difference between cheap and expensive sunglasses? >> by and large, no. it's very inexpensive to do the 100% puva, uvb and others. you know you're not being ripped off?
