| 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. |
