Happy Birthday, Robin.

We began last evening's journey to Fall Branch, but were called back to Johnson City. The crew found more than $4.5k at a teller station in the branch bank they were cleaning. Carolyn went there and called the bank president and told him of the find. I suppose at least one person will lose their job today, and maybe even the branch manager. In round figures and since she began the business in 1992, she and the crews have found more than $12k in cash, checks, and money orders in 11 different incidences. They once found $1.5k+ of money orders and negotiable checks in a trash can at a finance company office. The manager did not bother to come out and check it, but instead sent his wife. Very few times have they been thanked for standing guard over these sums. One time Carolyn found $800 in a brown paper bag lying on a table in the safe deposit vault. The guy whom forgot it did not bother to show any appreciation. They have also found jewelry, watches, and other personal items that were worth quite a lot of money, and they may have been worth much more in sentimental value to the people whom lost them.

Wednesdays are hair fixin' days for Carolyn. She missed last week and has been in a putrid grouch ever since. Come the 29th of this month, we will have been married for 45 years ... sometimes it seems much longer.

Lane Kiffin, Tennessee's new head football mentor, has not coached a game at UT, but has been an ongoing embarrassment since his arrival on campus last winter. Television network ESPN is reporting new "possible" violations by him, and if they are true, the university will be better off to shed him and the man whom hired him, director of athletics Mike Hamilton. ESPN itself has been an embarrassment to the world of news gathering and reporting for many years.

The next time they find money like this they should call the local tv station. Just imagine how much money the gov't leaves lying around.
I never did understand the once a week hair thing. Hell I go three months and would never cut mine if I could get away with it.
Lane Kiffin is not anything like his dad. He seems like a fool, no wonder the Raiders fired him.
Beautiful anniversary, Ken. My congratulations!
But your additional remark, quote: sometimes it seems much longer – is really funny.
j.
I imagine if these fat banks paid the tellers a decent wage, they might be more considerate and careful with the receipts.
Amen on the hair.
Kiffin has some great coaches with him, and he will probably do well until they are gone. His dad may stick with him for a while, but I cannot see Orgeron being there very long.
Thanks, Jola.
It has been an up and down journey, but I suppose all are such.
If Carolyn sees the remark about it seeming longer, I may not think it is so funny. ;-)
I am sure if Carolyn saw you remark you may be in a bit of trouble.
Glad she don't read this stuff! :-)
