heh, She said "de Bange"
De Bange is the real name of a French cannon designer.
I have actually found the information I need. Well, a minimal version of it anyway. At least I know how many strokes Yanek has to beat between firings. And I know what actions the gunners are going through.
Meanwhile, Hana and Frank send me postcards from castles in Central European mountains. Frank's postcard goes on and on about zombie attacks and has a very disturbing picture on it. Hana's has a pciture of the castle on it.
On the survival front. One of my big worries is the flood insurance is due this month, and the insurance carrier won't do an installment plan. I was going to barely squeak by with that before I lost my job. So I was frantic, thinking what will happen to my mortgage if I'm not paid up? So I called the credit union, which has my mortgage. What will happen? Well, see, there's this thing called a "force payment." It's . . . an installment plan, stuck on to my mortgage.The insurance company does it.
I had a hard time comprehending this. The insurance company won't do an installment plan for me when I ask for it, but the punishment for not paying the big lump sum when I'm supposed to is the installment plan I needed to not screw up in the first place? Whatever, I'll take it.
It may not come to that anyway. The nice man says they don't move on it for a few months, and by that time I may be able to just plain pay it. And he started the modification process, which I was surprised at because it's a little loan to begin with. But lower interest is always nice. Oh, and I was paying extra, so I stopped doing that for now.
There's a moral to this: do your business with a credit union, not a bank.
