What year IS it, anyway?

another thunk

Today I am informed via an email from PayPal that a request I made in 2000 for a payment from an eBay customer was canceled:

Amount: $11.19 USD

Date: Jun. 7, 2000

Subject: Soul Asylum Lp..342457565

Note: you can pay me via credit card using this route, if you like, otherwise I will need your number, exp date, card type by email, fax or phone, your choice thanks, steve

Gee, that took a while to be resolved.

But it wasn’t the “oldest” thing to come to my attention today. I received three checks from the Dickinson County Clerk Of Court totaling around thirty bucks in restitution for a check-writing spree a looney went on in 1997. I was one of their victims, to the tune of $102.11, it says here.

Well, harrumph, let that be a lesson to them-do not commit crimes of fraud like intentionally writing bad checks to your local warm fuzzy head shop. It will catch up with you.

And it looks to me like you still owe me seventy bucks and in this particular case, sooner is probably better than later, thank you.

Now, back to the David Johansen 60’s Animals medley I was listening to……….
