Credit card company: "Huh, sure enough, you don't have a checking account with us. That's weird."
Me: "So maybe we could look into this a little more, to make sure that someone hasn't actually opened an account with my information?"

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I'm pretty sure "that's weird" was the extent of the response you were calling to obtain.

There's definitely no account associated with my SSN, so I'm sure it was just a typo or something. But yeah, that's the kind of thing you like to know for sure.
I'm also a tiny bit sad that I didn't try to pay my credit card bill from that account and see what happened.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Now I'm on the phone with the insurance company. All I need is a reason to call the cable company and this will be the best day ever.

Could it have been parked and there was some braking failure that caused it to roll there on its own? Or is that not possible where the car landed?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Everyone to Dana: "Huh."
