Banking Caveat 2007

Lest you think there is any such thing as a reliable float anymore, I wish to report that the check which I presented at the counter at 5:55pm yesterday at Bank of America cleared my account at Wells Fargo yesterday and that news plus the scan of the check appeared in my online access late in the evening.

Stunning.

I recently shopped at a Banana Republic outlet where they ran my check through a scanning machine which instantly treated the transaction as if I had handed them a debit card. The usual kind of receipt stuff was printed on the back of the check and given back to me. Checking my account later, the debit posted immediately. Luckily I wasn't floating, just trying to use up these awful dolphins & rainbows checks I got by mistake. :)

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
