Last night I got a letter from $former_employer, about money in their 'save for shares' program, a way for employees to buy discounted shares with regular paycheck deductions. The buying, however, happens once a year, generally in August. Which means that when I left $former_employer last July, there was money in the account, which never made its way to me. The letter apologized, explaining that they were switching brokerage houses, so this got lost in the shuffle (ok, not that I'd noticed. Still, a year later?). Which means I'm getting a check for $720 sometime soon. I'm not sure if it's really 'found,' since it was money out of my paycheck, but it feels that way. What to do with it.....?

Well, then, buy three ACs. Solves the heat AND the spending issues.

Heh. The money will be gone in months with the electricity bills...

One AC should be enough for me (as I upgrade my technology to the 1960s or something :-).

I didn't say it was practical, just effective. And cool.
