Springtime in Laredo…

200px-Wachovia_logo_svg It’s absolutely beautiful here. Everything is blooming. The air smells good. The temperature is in the 80’s. There is a nice breeze blowing. And the drug cartels, with the automatic weapons they purchased in the US, haven’t come across the border to create havoc, yet.

I parked at the Love’s just North of Laredo to get some dinner. I had the woman at Subway create a marvelous meatball extravaganza with tomatoes, onions, pickles and fresh lettuce. A drink, chips and three cookies. I hadn’t eaten all day and my mouth was watering. The total came to about $11. I hand her my debit card which works fine when “they” run it as credit. AND IT DIDN’T WORK! It was rejected. Rejected? There’s goes my freshly made marvelous meatball extravaganza.

I was pissed. I got back to the truck, took a scissors and cut the card up. As I was doing that it was then that I realized that my wife told me to use our other card today until she could put some money in the account. Holy shit, I screwed up. I am so retarded. Whatever, so now we’ll use the one card and I don’t have to think about which account to use.

By the way, the bank also screwed up. They made an “account” error. There was over $100 in the account. The transaction should have never been denied. Thanks to Wachovia my marvelous meatball extravaganza is probably in the garbage.
