Your bank was FDIC insured, and you had less than $250,000, right?

Yeah. I think everything's ok in the short term, but I have to find a new bank very soon. Actually, control of my old bank was given to another bank that didn't fail, so it's possible they'll continue running the bank branches around here under the new bank's name, in which case I might not have to switch. But I probably will, anyway.

Looking up at the sky and thinking that, for me, "sky blue" is a deep, rich, vibrant cobalt blue, not some pale, insipid colour.







Catching the local bus to the shops and seeing that very sight, people in paragliders flying through an impossibly blue sky.





Going to the local beach at daybreak and seeing that the sand is so smooth and white it reflects the dawn colours like a mirror.
