Also, re: large metal animals.
It's not as cool as a giant chicken, but driving cross-country we were in Idaho, or maybe Montana ranching country. There was a metal artist's shop with a roadside display of his work. He had mustangs, metal manes and tails streaming in the "wind", created from pieces of car bodies and oil drums as his gateposts. If we'd had a place to pull the van and trailer over safely, we'd have stopped to at least look.
A couple miles further on, up a little rise and around a curve in the road, poised as though caught by surprise, her tail curved behind her like a lady's train, was a dragon, obviously made by the same artist. Again, no place to pull over or I'd have pictures.
Beverly, I'm a member of SECU. That's the one I was talking about. Wish I didn't have to find a new bank.
Looks fairly certain my swim tonight is going to be thundered out. Massive storm steadily approaching.
We just had it here, sara. We could actually use some more rain, but I think it's pretty much over.
It just started raining here and it looks to be another big one.
There is a 6ft+ metal chicken in front of a house on the next block from me. It's kind of disturbing, if I'm honest. Since the front 'yard' is about 3 by 6 total, I suppose it was an easier landscaping plan that, you know, plants.
I'm with a credit union, too. Unfortunately not SECU, because I've never been an NC state employee. My credit union was convenient when I worked about a mile away. Now going to the nearest office eats up the better part of a lunch hour. But they've been so hassle-free I'm disinclined to change.
Dad kept his money in a local S&L, too. My sister and I inherited a small amount in a checking account there, and I still have my half in the bank. Some of it is me being too lazy to transfer it, but most of it is that they were very kind to an old man who was, toward the end, inclined to chat with the employees for longer than necessary and perhaps a little more easily confused than he had been. So I've been in no real rush to move it.
Well, that was fun. It's been way too long since I spent one on one time with John. He's an incredibly personable...person. More time was spent catching up than discussing Leverage, honestly, and discussing TV in general, but it was all good.
I don't think I've ever used a bank only a CU. I've always gotten decent treatment. Although Mom had some issues recently when she needed a loan so she's mad and trying to find another CU to join.
Sounds like you had fun, ita.
When I mentioned earlier that I might take a nap, I hadn't thought I'd faceplant on the bed and be out for a few hours. And yet... PT has been scheduled for Monday and I intend to stay drugged up until then.
