About Online Bill Pay . . .

By the Copper Curmudgeon

I'm fascinated with our new technology and maybe a little terrified that we have the opportunity to conduct our personal business online. Yesterday my young daughter in the bay area sent me a text message while I'm on the road . . . she tells me she needs gas money so I open the IPhone app for my bank and in seconds transfer money from my account to hers so that her ATM card now has funds to purchase gas for the car ninety miles away.

Somehow . . . this has left the child with the idea that she does not need to plan ahead because dad is only a text message away from taking care of her problems. Hopefully life at college this next year will help her plan for these situations . . . who am I kidding right?

I grew up riding motorcycles and for the most part of my young life, after getting my driver’s license at sixteen that became my mode of transportation. It was not until I realized that serious dating required a car that I bought my sweet little ’66 Mustang the pride of my life at that time. No one drove my Tang . . . until I met my wife and then I never drove it again . . . I drove my beat up ’54 Ford pick-up she drove the Tang.

Over the years I have enjoyed various motorcycles, cars, trucks of many distinctions, a few real nice boats and some other big boy toys. I wish I had the ’66 Mustang and the ’54 pick up back! But they were sold to accommodate vehicles that could handle children in car seats.
