From The Past: August 31, 2004

Get this: our credit union is no longer accepting change! If you bring in change, they will keep 10% of it. I hardly think this is fair, but what can I do? I should have known that something was up when Kevin went to ask for some penny wrappers and they told him that they didn’t have those any longer. They said that they use a special machine that wraps all coins in plastic. I know they are called a credit union, but isn’t that the same thing as a bank? Shouldn’t banks have currency – all types of currency? You could put this under “things that make you go hmmm”.

Onto another topic; as Ashley was flying back and forth on her bike, I met two of our new neighbors last night (two different houses) and it turns out that I already knew both of them! Winchester is a very small town. Everyone knows everything about everyone. Lucky for us these are really nice people. It’s good to know that there are people around that we can trust and we know that we will look out for each other.
