let’s start off with the card fraud. i stay on top of my finances and my bank gave me a call about some fraudulent charges. i didn’t pick up the phone because i didn’t recognize the number but they did leave a message. after checking the voice mail, i logged into my account online first to see what the problem was and i got hit pretty good by debit charges that appear as ‘OBLATE MISSIONS/MISSIO SAN ANTONIO TX.’ finding out what that company is is pretty easy. i never did biz with them before. never heard of them. i didn’t call them because having banking experience, in a situation like this, it’d do no good. i called my bank and they stopped the activity because it wasn’t normal and they deactivated my card. a new one’s on its way and i could even stop at a branch to get a

I’ve been managing my time quite well lately and last Sunday, I wanted to get out and ride my regular bike for the first time in a good month or 2.

I took a walk along Shingle Creek back on 11/29/2011 for exercise after I got off work. It was kinda cold outside. I got mailed some pretty good Burger King coupons and used one of them beforehand: 2 whoppers, 2 fries for 5 bucks. Seems like a meal for 2, don’t it? Well, with my appetite, it was a meal for one. Some online maps are totally out of date. I parked at the end of a building’s lot in Southpark Center Loop and walked around one of the retention ponds. Then I walked along the creek but came to an endpoint. Across the water, I saw what looked like a sign as if people were allowed to walk there. It was then that I wanted to find out what it was. But that was for another day. I walked along the creek up to the new Destination Parkway
