- A deer was browsing along the back lawn this morning. He looked up when I opened the door, but was not impressed, and neither started shouting "Run away!" nor proceeded to do so.
- Last night,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shadesong posted my favorite Sandman quote, and moments later I realized my BNU reply on why da Vinci was still popular today segued naturally right into the quote.
- Yesterday, while I was getting ready to jump in the shower, I heard a loud noise and then watched traffic come to a crawl in the northbound lanes of the turnpike. Turns out one truck pushed another into the center barrier. Made all the news shows last night, but doesn't seem to have arrived on anything Googleable for a link.
- "Inertia is not a good excuse to stay with a bank" - or something very similar, noticed it this morning on a billboard, with a bank name so small I missed exactly what they were trying to sell. I'm wondering - with the plunging level of literacy - how many people driving by have a clue what "inertia" means? The cynic on my shoulder wonders how long it will be before banks are required to post large disclaimers about how switching your bank may impact your credit rating. Some creditors seem to frown upon low check numbers. I've actually seen signs posting that they won't accept low check numbers; some banks have responded by starting checking accounts at higher numbers. I'm wondering if refusal of credit or refusal to accept checks provides a good excuse for staying with a bank?
