Mini-me kitteh!
At this point the ‘streak’ was just a slight morning curiosity... before yesterday it was broken 3 times, once by an X/6, once when traveling and being unable to log in, and once by just forgetting to finish on a Sunday (about 287 days ago!)... I’m a daily addict regardless of the streak, so it really has lost its meaning...
😂
They’re great!
Happy Tuesday all Ya’all...
Cold, rainy, traffic was dumber than usual. On a client site until this afternoon. Plan on doing some roast beast for dinner.

Mmmm, roast beast! 😋
Your comment reminds me of what Tommy Lee Jones said in “Men in Black”.
“A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it!”
It was cold and drizzling, that was apparently enough for people to come to a complete stop in the middle of a 4-lane highway for no discernible reason.
I even picked up on my former Mother-in-laws secret for her gravy that was “so good, it was almost it’s own food group”.
No lumps and thick enough you can’t drink it through a straw, but you’d really like to try...
I’ve noticed that heavy traffic is like a slinky. If you stretch a slinky a bit, and then “tweak” one end a pulse will flow through the slinky. At the point of the pulse the parts of the spiral will be closer together. Elsewhere they will be farther apart.
Only in traffic, the pulse doesn’t travel through the traffic, the cars travel through the pulse. I’m not sure what starts them, but they can take a long time to dissipate. It may be that 20 minutes before you got there a deer caused the cars to stop.

So, it turns out that one of the services my in-laws had determined it owed the estate money. So it sent a pre-paid debit card.
Really???!!! How do you deposit a pre-paid debit card into an estate account? What ever happened to checks?
Anyway, I bought an Amazon gift card with it and gave that to Mrs. ArGee. I then wrote a check for the same amount to the Estate account. I bought the Amazon card because I have found in the past it’s really hard to use a pre-paid debit card that only has a small amount of money left on it. But you can buy an Amazon card for funky amounts as long as it’s over $5 (or is it $10?).
Life in the modern world...
... it would probably sound like flatulence.
