Random photos. Some interesting... some not.

How's that for an enticement?

It was worth it for this:

I am going to guess that's Klaus Kinski and a guy leaning on an imaginary pedestal.

Supposedly escrow closed on my condo, but no funds for me or the mortgage company until the title company's legal team reviews, in microscopic detail, the specifics of the divorce settlement so they can be properly convinced that they shouldn't just send all the money to my ex.

Did they mention this any of the dozen times they kept calling to make sure I was going to be home to receive the documents? Did them mention it any of the dozen times I asked if there was ANYthing else they needed, when I stressed that the mortgage had to be paid off by today or I would be reported to the credit bureaus?

(B of A, you know. Won't even accept "but my sale closed escrow" as a legitimate reason to be even a day late on the mortgage payment - no, better pay up immediately because clearly after 6 years of timely mortgage payments I'm clearly a deadbeat and should be reported to the credit czars.)

Or, did they perhaps wait until 3pm on the date of closing to tell me that oh, they were going to need to do this additional level of review and gosh, my closer has been out sick all week and the earliest anyone can start will be Monday, and gosh, they just can't say how long this all might take -- could be several weeks.

I'll let you guess which option they selected.

Oh Pru I'm so sorry. I had a super stressful closing last week. I hope they get it all worked out for you asap.

I assume the manufactured delay is so that they can hold onto my funds for the maximum time and thus accrue more interest they shan't be sharing.

Hmm, one of the best little quotes I've read in a while comes from the 1916 valedictorian speech of the grandfather of my company's co-CEOs.

Education can not be carried on exclusively in the study and class room. Every meadow and every woodland is a college and every city block is filled with teachers. Do you know how the stream flows, how the kingfisher poises above it, how the trout swims in it, how the fern uncurls along its banks? Do you know the song of the birds, the voices of the forests and the sea?

...Beyond the world of outward perception, there is another world of inward vision and the key to it is imagination; to see things as they were or as they will be in the ending, to make the absent present, to rebuild the past out of fragments of of carven stone and to enter into the lives of all [can't read this word] and conditions of men. Imagination is the medium of all human sympathy..

:snap: Wow, snaps to that.

Well, back working at a Movie theatre again. Was hesitant because of the pay but it's income. Went in tonight to brush up but it was like I never left. I did, however, miss the free passes. ;)
