To their credit, the car dealership had the form completed and back to me today, so I was able to get my car registered.

Just remember, they didn’t give me the title. They mailed it to me. That’s the important part.

Stay healthy and safe.

Yesterday I went to the county tag office to register my car. It turns out my title has the wrong odometer mileage recorded. They gave me an exception form that the seller and I have to complete. I called the dealership that sold me the car and had a conversation with the person in the finance department that went something like this.

“The title you gave me with the rest of the paperwork has the wrong mileage recorded.”

“I didn’t give you a title.”

“I’m looking right at it.”

“I never give anyone titles.”

“Regardless of how I got it, I have it, and the mileage is wrong. Can we focus on the solution?”

“Did you get a package in the mail from us with paperwork?”

“Yes.”

“That’s where you got the title. I never give titles to anyone.”

“Okay. Now that we’ve cleared that up, let’s talk about how we fix it.”

Jesus wept.

Stay healthy and safe.

If you’re a fan of campy television and movies (think Adam West’s Batman), you owe it to yourself to watch Iron Sky. Nazis on the moon. Enough said.

It’s always fun to get a call at 10 AM to put together a presentation for a meeting with executive management at 1:30 PM. Fortunately when you have your act together you can have it done by 11, review it at 1, and make a few changes with time to spare.

Stay healthy and safe.

Record heat around the country, but it’s been normal here. Temperatures in the 90s and thunderstorms off and on for the past couple of days. What you’d expect for a city on the equator.

Stay healthy and safe.

I was tired all day. I took a nap at 6 PM, woke up, had dinner, and went back to bed. I don’t know if my aching knee is wearing me out or if it’s something else, but it felt good to get some sleep.

Stay healthy and safe.

The swelling in my knee continues to decrease. I have close to full range of motion again, but standing up is painful, and I still take the stairs one at a time.

Stay healthy and safe.
