Say what? What this wonderful little piece of mail says is that Triple A thinks that we have a loan on the [Beloved] Dirty Old Green Honda Accord. Roight. Folks, we bought the [B]Dogha in 2001 (!!!!) fer Kee-reist. Yes, it was new when we bought it. It is a 2001 vee-hickle. We borrowed money to buy it. *I* think we actually borrowed the money from Honda Finance. *Other* people think it was National City. But that was almost seven years ago!!! I have to admit, I don’t really remember. And I don’t really care (at least I didn’t until now). Because we paid the dern thing off completely, oh, in about 2003 or so, maybe early 2004 (document found, bwa ha ha, it WAS Honda Finance, I was right! Snark snark snark). The [B]Dogha has (count ’em) 110,000 miles on it now!!! The cost of each of the last two scheduled maintenance visits just about required a loan and for just a minute when I received this little bit of mail, I wondered, “how did the GG pay for those brakes and tires, et al?” But we did definitely manage our own financing for those repairs and it was certainly not from Honda Finance. Kee-reist, do I *really* have to go and dredge up all that paperwork and (worse) locate documentation about when we paid the dern thing off? I’m taaaarrrd and I don’t really wanna do that, so I hope that Triple A will tell us that it’s just some sort of weird computer error. Like last year, when they changed the principal driver on the [B]Dogha. Who did they change it to? They changed it to Lizard Breath, a person with a California driver’s license. You’d have to have some pretty long arms to be in Cali and be driving a vee-hickle around the Planet Ann Arbor. Anyway, she’s driving Maggie out there. I would like to know: is a person or a computer responsible for making these spurious changes to our policy? Folks, at the moment, there are two people living here in the blasted Landfill. There are three vee-hickles, er, maybe two and a half might describe it more accurately. All vee-hickles and any parts thereof are paid for outright and the two of us share. Sometimes we even share nicely. FIX IT!!!

P.S. I have made my own mistakes with Triple A. Several times I have managed to forget to pay the bill or lose it or whatever. I am sorry. But I am good for the money and I am always embarrassed when this happens and I just sheepishly pay up.
