third price increase

 as i was leaving the office i looked at the vending machine. it appears there has been a third price increase on the cheapest item in it, the chips i like, since i started just over a year ago. it was 75 cents and now it is 1 dollar 40 cents. so it has nearly doubled in my time at the bank. i do like the chili cheese corn chips, but it is hard to ignore so many price hikes. this may mean getting things out of the machine less often. at lunchtime it was nice to take a walk around the area and i found another sandlot baseball field. i got pictures of the park sign as well as the scoreboard. another place on the photo-op list was a bar in a strip mall. i liked their beer ads in the windows for blue moon, modelo, and coors. there was a meeting in the afternoon about getting a laptop. i had questions as i am a rare one, actually working in the office while most are working from home. sounds like they will see that mine is sent to the office. it was nice getting caught up on things by the end of the day, except for some incoming mail. highest priority was doing the remaining checks for the foundation, running them through the envelope stuffer. it was over a thousand, but not a big deal when the volume on a thursday tends to be lower. in the evening i went on a walk and found 73 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when bob newhart was a guest star as professor proton, along with bill nye. i liked it because bob said 'back off, bowtie'. it was followed by the one where leonard said 'physics is dead' in an interview and was asked to retract it. the friends also find the grave of a scientist, richard feynman. i don't think i had seen the latter episode before. i got a response already to the receipts uploaded for the 'space jam' tokens, it was approved so now i have two of them. plans still are to go to walmart this weekend and find more eligible items.
