She finally gets off the phone after twenty minutes. My business, after she understood I was not an account holder but that I WAS in their system, took three minutes. Fine.

Not fine: The business guy ahead of me gets to the teller not on the phone. And his banking was clearly going to take thirty minutes or more - I knew that after standing there for fifteen minutes.


:(

Then I walked over to my bank. Just two people in line - took about five minutes to get to the teller. Once there, it took three minutes. Fine.

Would it help to open up a small account at this bank?

Not fine: I go to turn right out of the parking lot and some moron in a Mercedes SUV sees this and what does he do? Speeds up suddenly. I turned anyway. He honked. I flipped him off royally. Jerks will be jerks and anyone who sees someone turning right into a right-hand lane when there's plenty of room to do so, and said anyone suddenly speeds up so that the turner has to speed up is a first-class moron.

Not fine: I drive to Gelson's. It's now four minutes after eleven. For a minute, I think about getting In 'N' Out because there'll probably be no one there at eleven. Wrong. Line of cars for the takeout window is a block long. I drive by and look in the restaurant - jammed. Who eats hamburgers at eleven in the morning? Apparently, it must be a "thing."

I go to Gelson's and apparently have gotten there early enough to get  my onion pockets. After I took mine, there were two left and those would be gone by noon because apparently I've popularized this item at this store. Encino store is NEVER EVER out of these. Fine.

Today is the unofficial birthday for pets whose owners adopted them at the shelter or rescue but don't have a clear answer of when their furry friend was born.

That's beautiful.

Thank you.

We dropped Craig off at a record store in Portland.  He plans to go to one more store before meeting up with a friend for the evening.  Uber will get him home.

Well, right after I posted earlier our Wi-Fi went out, so I had to use our expensive cellular connection to watch the gymnastics on Peacock.  But it was worth every penny of the overage charge I incurred!

As soon as it was over our Wi-Fi came back on, of course.  Then Richard and I left to do a couple of errands and to eat out.  We’re glad to be home in the AC.

I'm glad you could still watch even if you had to pay for it.

Just ordered the Benjamin Kritzer books - my gal was out all last week. They should be here in a week or so, or that's the hope. If you haven't ordered yet, please do. It's so nice to have it looking so good.
