| 21.5.16 01:49 |  | OK, one more insight into my fascinating life. Thursday night at Costco I picked up a Costco-sized batch of new 9 volt batteries. JUST NOW one of the smoke detectors upstairs started issuing the "hey my old 9 volt battery is dying, don't you wish you had a fresh one? OH BUT YOU DO HAVE A FRESH ONE" beep...which usually is more of a "hey, idiot, you're out of 9 volt batteries, why not take this one out, disable me and then don't be surprised when your house burns down with you in it" beep... Was it mere COINCIDENCE that I bought the batteries just in time? NEVER!
Although...having heard a completely DIFFERENT malfunctioning smoke alarm in some other building mere hours earlier MAY have triggered my brain to remember to pick up new batteries in the first place... I dunno. My brain's funny sometimes. |
| 21.5.16 01:19 | | I'd been meaning to check out that new Affinity Credit Union for a while, thinking I might finally have a new way to deposit a cheque into MY (based in Modesto) credit union account without having to drive to, say, the Har Mar Mall outer rim to the Genisys credit union - plus, it's a good walk for me. I was delighted to see that their ATM was one of them new-fangled "feed us the cheque and we'll automagically scan it" deals, then much less delighted to see the cheque get spit back to me with a "no, no deposits here using YOUR network, dummy" message, then delighted again to find a crumpled up $20 bill on the ground nearby for my troubles. I'm not sure I should take this as a sign that it's a reward for another 1½ miles on my personal odometer or a sign that I shouldn't have already placed $20 in bets on Nyquist or a sign that I hadn't shared a longish status with you for a while or maybe all of the above. And I'll be back in Roseville on Monday, anyway, I guess. |
