Today we begin a new small feature called "Andy's Random Gripes." I suggest you not read it.
Nothing is worse than listening to someone moan and groan about how wrong and stupid the world is. Except for the person doing the moaning and groaning. For him, it's therapy. It feels great to vent your little irritations with the world. Why? I don't know. But it's true.
And so here's mine for today: Why the heck is my credit union closed on Columbus Day, which is today? For that matter, why is anything closed? Columbus didn't even discover America. He discovered some island in the Caribbean. Even if he had landed on mainland USA, he wouldn't have discovered it. He'd have discovered other people who had "discovered" it centuries earlier.
And for this I can't cash my check?
I am annoyed. And now I have vented. So I feel better.
If you'd like to share a random gripe of your own, by all means do so.
Just don't expect me to listen.
