I just had a great conversation with my old friend Cricket. Actually, she was one of my favorite bank tellers back in Driggs, ID. She was still there today and looking forward to retirement.

I told her I left Driggs about six years ago and moved to Tennessee. She said I'm sorry because we both know Teton Valley at the base of the Grand Tetons beats anywhere in Tennessee hands down. Then I said but I've landed in Pensacola and she said lucky you.

I've been using the Bank Of Commerce now for at least fifteen years. My SS gets direct deposited there every month, and the B/C card in my wallet is my main card.

Cricket laughed when I told her my account was at $2.30, but then she said it will be better tomorrow when SS hits. Then I asked her advice for setting up a new account down here and shutting the B/C account down.

She asked if I still had checks, I said yes. Her advice was to pick the bank I want, open a new account with a check for the balance in my B/C account, then email her with a note saying please close my account, and digitally sign it.

I'll be doing that tomorrow. Thanks guys, you have been the best bank I ever dealt with. I remember the time I ordered a bunch of uncirculated two dollar bills from you, which I gave to my young Community School passengers on the TRPTA bus.

I told them to stash them away and they might be worth something some day. I had two left, and I still have them.

So I guess I'm not poor. I have five one dollar bills, five dollars and thirty cents in change, $2.30 in the bank and four dollars in two dollar bills. Which adds up to my net worth of $16.65.

I was telling my Pediatric Nurse girlfriend Jennifer (that's what Shelby calls her because I think shes hot) about my $2.30 cent bank balance and both ladies were laughing and said they'd been there, a few times.

So life goes on, I have no idea what the next second brings, but I embrace whatever happens, with all my heart.
