At the bank, I tried to deposit a copule of checks, one long overdue. At some point, I will have my checks deposited directly into my account rather than having to go to the bank every week. Still, while the teller was very nice and friendly, I couldn’t help but wonder why I was being inundated with questions when all I wanted was to deposit my checks.

“Do you want your balance on the receipt?” They ask me this every stinking time. I don’t care. I don’t care! Is there some kind of security concern with having my balance on the receipt? If I recevied a receipt at all, wouldn’t I want a balance? Who cares?

Berta’s car has this crazy feature that displays the pressure in all four tires on the main display in the dash. (Yes, it’s a screen - were you expecting less gadget? Honestly?) This morning, it blew the warning whistle on the front right tire - again.

Driving with a flat in a minivan is dangerous business because they are more prone to rolling over than most cars. The pressure in the tire wasn’t too low (5 PSI below rating), but it’s disturbing thta this has happened three times in the past week or so that I’ve been driving it.
