Not yet, I suspect this is a fluke, but if it happens again I might look into it.  The Subaru has a boxer engine, so I don't know if that affects placement of heat and stuff.  

 

Do what they did when building the Al-Can....

 

Keep engines running 24/7.

Mini-B.'s Many'th birthday party held today, up-growing wee man.

City park was available, whee man.

Weather VERY warm & windy, Texas Many everywhere else less man.

Not all invitees showed up, still a good crowd man.

 

Unexpected swarms of (?) sugar bees, no stinging insults man.

Bees skydove into everyone's soft-drink cans, banzaiiiiiii man.

Fortunately, Mrs. T-B. had brought cans of some awful "sparkling mango water," yuck man.

Bees hated it as much as everyone else did, yuck man.

 

We retrieved Many (2+2+1) pre-ordered-by-Mrs.-T-B. Costco pizzas, 2 cheese Many pepperoni man.

Barely >2 pizzas consumed, many leftovers man.

For dinner, Mrs. T-B. served _____, one guess man.

 

One activity was pinata-bashing, violence man.

Little Chinese boy succeeded, Hunan not Fujian wee man.

Mini-B. got bonkus-of-the-conkus by some of the candy, yowl wee man.

 

Everyone had much fun, glee man.

Mini-B. got Many presents, well-endowed wee man.

They filled the trunk of the T-B.-mobile, impressive man.

In various stages of construction, they now dominate the living-room floor, investigatory wee man.

 

Mini-B. thinks that he is already Many years old, harmless conclusion by wee man.

Technically, he IS Many years old, but will not be Many years old until Tues. Jan. Many'th, to be precise man.

After party, we managed to hit an ES, report man.

 

The take, see man:

-- Many (2x2x2+2+1) warshcloths (2 = Chaps), several new with tags = $2-&-a-half, steal man

-- nearly full pump-bottle liquid soap = $1, OK man

-- full bottle Sea Breeze astringent = $1, steal man

-- 2 pair white crew socks, new with tags = $1, steal man

-- Jones Nueva York silk tie, new with tag = $1, steal man

-- soft-bristle hairbrush = $2, OK man

-- Many (2+1) pairs scissors = $Many ($2+2+2), OK man

-- more-than-half huge roll aluminum foil = half a buck, steal man

Total = $Many ($2x2x2x2-1 + tax), deal man

After ES + other errands, napped deeply with cat, we and miu zzz man.

Mrs. T-B. exhausted, out-wiped she man.

There have been options for a long time, but people have always been hesitant about it.

 

I wonder if some of that hesitation is because people used to (myself included when I was a broke teen) write checks before they got paid assuming money would be there later.  Check clearing is ridiculously fast now if the other person deposits it immediately and big retailers just use e-checks, so I'm not sure I really get people who use checks at stores, etc.  I can't believe how many people my age do this around here.  They are missing out on some good credit card rewards, but whatever, their loss.

 

For myself, I hate bank transfers, like really hate.  I only do them with my credit cards to make sure that the balance gets paid in full and I don't get charged interest.  Everything else I prefer to write checks or auto-pay with my credit card for the points.  There is something cathartic about sitting down and writing out a check to pay a bill.  

 

 

I think I stopped using checks in 2000 or in 2005 I don't think anybody uses them in Poland anymore

I have an internet access to my bank account and I have two cards - a debit one connected to my account and the credit one.

That's enough to spend the money I earn

Speaking of annoying things, I know my grandfather has left me something in his will.  I have no idea what it is and my chicken father couldn't even contact me himself to get my address. 

Your father needs a kick in his bottom

Maybe I was being overly cautious.  I about froze my hands off just going out to the car.  -10/-15 is kind of my downward limit and the school's too.  

-10/-15'Fahrenheit or Celsius?
