DR George, the Gran Scene was really big in the late 19801s amd 90s. Their events always were sell-outs, and poI have a couple of their videos. Their leading lady, Ira Siff, is both a really informed opera maven and a fantastic singer. He used to show up on the Met radio broadcasts as a frequent panelist on the intermission opera quiz.

I have a lot of that distrust. My home and auto insurance premiums are on autopay, as is my Verizon. I only allow it where there's a real discount involved or I'm coerced into in some other way. Everybody else wants autopay payments, but they ain't getting 'em.

That's funny you don't know the number.  Once you have phone service back on you might try calling your cell to see if it identifies the number.  It would be helpful to be able to call it if your cell phones aren't working :)

We finally gave up our land line.  I couldn't hear what anyone was saying when I did use it.

Been watching The Black Bird, the George Segal Maltese Falcon “spoof.” It’s objectively bad, yet there is funny stuff in it.

Spade Jr takes the bird to a pawn shop. How much? he asks.
“14.95”
“Why is it always 14.95? Can’t you make it a nice, round number?”
“Ok, 14.00.”
“Cmon! It’s gotta be worth more than that!”
“It is. It’s worth 14.95.”

DR ChasSmith, I haven't thought about that Rudolf Bing Gala in years.

Indeed. That was a few lifetimes ago.

Wait a minute. It was HALF A CENTURY ago.

Noel’s viciousness and that of his jaded literary friends is quite a treat.

I like direct deposit, too. In fact, most larger employers require it of their minions.

Ditto.  The library required direct deposit for paychecks and reimbursements.

I also like having automatic payments for bills, such as water, power, etc.

All my monthlies, except for my HOA dues, are auto payments, too.
