[Dave]

Don, I had a similar experience some months ago. I rarely write paper checks but had a need to write one, and discovered I was out of checks so I ordered the minimum number from my bank's website then walked to my local branch to get a few temporary checks. They told me I could buy some, I think at $1.50 each. I objected and mentioned that I just ordered 200 checks from their website, at no cost, and the teller said in that case the temp checks were free.

I struggle to understand this. I can get 200 free checks, ones that cost the bank a lot more than the temp ones to print and ship, but they charge $1.50 each for temporary checks that probably cost them no more than $0.25 each.

I'll check out your new Flickr photos this afternoon.

Meanwhile, here's a colorful floral from my archives to brighten the day...
