Pinned In The Pew.

While I am not Catholic, I do attend Mass on occasions.  And while I know that at some point during the service the kneeling bench is going to be used, it always takes me by surprise.  And such was the case last Sunday.  The bench came down on my foot pinning my shoe to the floor.  And since everyone else was kneeling, I had no choice but to sit down and try to free my shoe.  After about ten seconds, I was able to free my foot and assume the position.  I hate that when that happens.

EPI Pens.

Over the past few years, the price of EPI pens have been increasing.  This is what happens when the government creates a monopoly.  But when the price increase hit the media, the EPI pen manufacturer decided to come up with special discount pricing.  Amazing!

The Deluxe Truck.

While I was out looking at 1 ton “duellys”, I was given prices for both the basic models and the deluxe models.  However when I compare the features I noticed that deluxe versions came with deluxe engines for another $600.  And the since the engines were same size and model, I can only conclude that the deluxe engines must have chrome air cleaners and dip sticks.

Easy Riders!

We recently went for our first bike ride on a local bike path.  It was on an old railroad right-of-way that is now paved.  And, since trains don’t do hills, the grades on this path were quite pleasurable.  And so was our ride.  We didn’t even have to change gears.

Medicare Does Come At A Cost.

A few days ago, I received a bill saying that I owed $365.40 Medicare insurance.  And, if it was paid by the end of the month, I would loose my Medicare insurance.  Since I have recently received a number of “scam” insurance mailing, I was skeptical.  But after further checking, I discovered that the bill is legitimate and that the amount is a quarterly payment for Medicare Part B.  And since I didn’t want to loose my Medicare, I sent them the money.
