Well I guess I have shamed myself into going down to the Canadian Credit Union tomorrow. Sort of prefer an old fashioned money order in US funds. At least their money orders are cleared in California, so no problem. Good for a modest $50 dollars.
I had been touched by an appeal for a bunch of good folks in Seattle who rescued a poor stray horse. It had been shot with paint balls. Got off a money order to them recently.
Boy oh boy - patting myself on the back here. (laughs).
