Skaters. Bah!

I just filed my paperwork with the local credit union, and I’m done with big banks. The branch manager said business is booming over the Bank of America debit card fee. The advantage I see with big banks is technology — Citibank allows you to take a picture of a check with your cell phone and deposit it without going to the bank — but he told me they’re working on it now and should have that service within the next six months.

The thing they have that my big bank didn’t? I can make deposits with a debit card. Woo hoo!

The power to dream, to rule
to wrestle the world from fools
it’s decreed the people rule
it’s decreed the people rule
Listen!
I believe everything we dream
can come to pass through our union
we can turn the world around
we can turn the earth’s revolution
we have the power
People have the power …

How about a little Patti Smith to kick off today’s Occupation?

It was about seven years ago that I was trying to get funding to do this very thing in Philadelphia, and people thought I was crazy.
