Today
I need to get cash and usually when I need that to happen I just go
to the market purchase something with my debit card and they asked if
I want cash back, I'm sure everyone else does that too. However, I've
misplaced my debit card. You'll notice that I wrote “misplaced”
as opposed to “lost”. I was pretty sure had not lost my debit
card but I have not seen it in a couple weeks. I suspected the card
had fallen out of my wallet and this floating somewhere in the bottom
of a backpack. Each day I promised myself I was going to go through
the backpack can find the card. Anyway, since I don't have access to
the debit card I couldn't use the money back trick at the market. Oh,
I'm sure I could've figured it out. I also wasn't sure if I want to
go to the college and use the cash machine there at the student
union. Not knowing if the student union is open on Saturdays I
decided it was a nice day, a bit chilly the sun was out it be a good
day for role so I decided to head over to the branch office of
Mountain America Credit Union and pull some money out at the ranch
and be able to ask a question about why my credit card is not yet
shown up. Don't you just hate it when the credit card doesn't show up
in time and all the accounts you have on automatic withdrawal start
bouncing? Anyway I got a spooky email from my insurance carrier
saying that I had just a few more days of coverage.
In
my mind the credit union was just around the corner from where I
usually shop at Fresh Market. I'm always surprised at how close it
seems whenever I pass it on 4700 S. and I forget that it's there. So
today I thought go for it off I went up to the light, across the
street then I started bearing west. A past 1900 West. where I thought
the credit union should be it was not that I figured it be the next
light which was about 20th West And that was not. I was
beginning to get a little worried as I continued my track westbound.
I cautiously crossed the off ramps and on ramps of the interstate a
couple of which did not have crossing lights which I thought was kind
of weird. And I kept bearing west. At 21st west I was
almost ready to start really examining where I was at and really for
a split second I wondered if I was having a senior moment Alzheimer's
like one of those folks you hear about on 60 minutes, are the 5
o'clock news lost them out on the city streets wandering searching
for something they knew was there but never had been almost twilight
zone.I kept rolling though trying to keep my faith up, the sun was
great the concrete smooth more or less in the air brisk enough to
keep me awake and there I finally found the house looking for almost
2700 W. that's a long way in a power chair but I was impressed my
power meter said I was doing very well.
I
kind of like this branch it's all Hispanic as far as the tellers go.
It makes me appreciate what minorities go through at all white credit
union/banks. I lucked out and just happen to find my debit card so I
had the teller check both and I'm okay. I still have to the end of
this month so maybe my cards will come in the mail. However, we did
discover that my identification card, since I do not have a drivers
license, is no longer valid my ID expired at my birthday this year so
I guess it's a trip to the DMV this next week to get a new ID which
then I can get new cards immediately. I didn't intend to take such a
journey when I left my apartment this morning with the cool weather
was a blessing as well as a renovated chair I really am just one
lucky guy!
