checks in the mail
I get monthly checks for the cemetery. Interest on CD's. Today, not for the first time, I noticed one bank, my primary bank, seals it's envelopes with tape. And upon opening them, I see that they only seal them with tape, they do not lick or otherwise moisten the seal. Which means that someone at my bank is, by hand, putting tape on every single CD check sent out, rather than getting a machine, or a sponge, to do it. Yet while a human has to handle every one of those checks, they cant seem to find the time to put all the checks in one envelope. I find this really interesting, because three other banks also send out the exact same check. They must all use the same company. But at least one of the other banks combines the checks into one envelope. It's all very interesting.. .to me.
I have to recommend, if I have not already, Whole Foods organic chocolate truffles. They are so goddamn good. Like chocolate moose in solid form. Melts in your mouth. Ryther got me Godiva truffles for Valentines day, and while I usually put those near the top, for some reason, this batch was very disappointing. They had a 'plastic' quality to them. Even the best ones, the dark chocolate with the dark chocolate center was just 'eh'. I wonder if they were stale, or if Godiva is just going down the tubes. I think from now on I'm just going to request WF's brand. Not the fancy box, but I'm not eating the box now am I?
There is an art show coming up that I can enter my Selkie in. I need a pedestal though. I think I'm going to build one, or try, this weekend. I also want to get a piece of granite for it to sit on. My mother in law told me of a granite counter place she said will let you take chunks of junk granite. I might go there tomorrow and ask. And I still need to put in the whiskers.
