Another San Francisco morning here in Aiken, SC. Cold, damp, foggy, real ugly this morning so we put the top up for the ride in. Today was lunch date with my wife and by noon it was sunny and had warmed up nicely. We made the 20 mile round trip to the Burger King that is less than a mile from the plant for Whoppers (Regular for me and a Jr. for Donna.) Can’t imagine being trapped inside a giant SUV with an A/C that is on all the time, missing the sounds and feel of the outdoors on spring days like this….
Not having an SUV almost cost us a couple of pieces of chocolate though. On the way home we stopped at the drive-thru of our bank to cash a check. Used the lane closest to the bank so when the teller pushed out the little draw again with my cash and driver’s license back I reached up and in, grabbed the envelope and started to pull away. The teller as she was wishing us a good weekend, said, “Wait, you forgot something.” When I took the envelope, I felt something else in the draw, but ignored it as they always keep a pen in there for folks who don’t have one and I thought that is what is was. When I reached back in there I could feel some little squares, so I picked them up. They were a couple of those little Hershey’s miniatures in St. Patrick’s Day colors. The teller smiled and said, “See, not a pen.” If I had an SUV I would have been looking down into the tray and would have seen the candy. Of course, taped to one, was a bit of paper that invited us to refinance our mortgage with Regions Bank. Erin Go Braugh, indeed.
Started down, went up, went down, still down.
