Over a week ago,
I had to order some checks from my bank due to a new recurring expense.
My last check I wrote from my checkbook was for some time in 2015.
Then one check from 2014,
and one from 2013.
Needless to say,
I haven't had a need for a checkbook in years.
So the new checkbook arrived
(two of them, actually).
I recall in the past,
they would arrive in the mail in a box sized large enough to hold the checks.
But today,
they arrived in an unusual format—a flat package about
6½ × 10 × ½ inches
(16.5 × 25.5 × 10 mm).
Upon opening it,
it looked like a book,
and stuck to the inside cover were two checkbooks.
I pulled them off,
and beneath one of them was instructions on how to write a check
(with a link to an instructional video)!
I suddenly feel old.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
