During my Spring Training trip I hardly spent any cash. Didn’t need to go to an ATM. So much of the trip was credit card only.
Times a changing.

In China almost all transactions are done using mobile phones. Easier for the government to track everything.

I write checks for my weekly donations to the church I attend and my monthly donations to the guy who comes to repair my appliances.

I still write checks for the most part. I enjoy mailing things. I like the different varieties of postage stamps.

I have some Scooby Doo forever stamps. If they would continue to sell them, I'd use them forever.

I remember getting both a morning and an afternoon newspaper delivered to the house.

I remember getting both a morning and an afternoon newspaper delivered to the house. I remember getting milk delivered to our house.

The Postman Always Rings Twice I'm trying to get to a next step of making this a literary/movie discussion. Thread meandering is an Olympic sport at BTB.

I only saw the Jack Nicholson version, not the John Garfield.
And I still write occasional checks, but far fewer than I used to.
