Despite the stormy skies, I think this scene fits nicely in the 'beckoning road' series.
4 years agoWould you rather have loess now, or more latah?
4 years agoAnd that's just the top of it!
4 years agoDon’t get it. I’m at a loess myself.
4 years agoAn easy mistake, really. The horse isn’t all that prominent.
4 years agoI sure misinterpreted.
4 years agoA lotta loess.
4 years agoUnbelievable. This is way worse than the predicament we found ourselves in Laos a few years ago. I've never in my life had to produce my original SS card! No doubt the Nigerians can make perfect copies of SS cards anyway, so what does it matter?
Yes, coyotes for sure. I've heard dogs sound the same too, but not in this country.
At first I thought that was a huge snake rising up out of the lake to eat a pelican. I guess my mind is still in Asia.
4 years agoI like the idea of a flow chart! Your timeline omits a possibly lengthy wait step though, at the SSA, so your guess feels a bit too optimistic to me. They’ll mail the passport back promptly, after of first quarantining it for several days before photocopying it. After that they’ll process the application, on their own timeline. That is certain to go fast. My own prediction is that we’ll be doing well just to get the SS card by July.
Which is fine. The longer C1 has our money, the more interest I’m sure they’ll think we’re due.
So, your passport is now on its way to the Social Security office.
And then, presumably, they will mail it to you in Portland along with your new social security card?
And from there the actual ss card (not a copy) has to be mailed to Capital One?
And then they send you a check for $5,362 (you know, for your trouble) .. which you will receive on 7/9 and deposit on 7/10.
It's all so efficient and logical! Capital One should add this flowchart as a prominent feature on their home page.
Thanks, Patrick. It really didn’t feel hard at all, other than the weather. I’ll have to come out here some year in the future for a repeat.
4 years agoYou’re such a multi-threat talent, Jen. Limericks, and then this!
4 years agoThat’s really right. It was hardly boring, even seeing it a second time in the space of a few days. It did help me keep focused though.

Tough decision! Both, actually. Such ploessant alternatives.
